Wolfgang Ramin , zoo elephant trainer in Germany . Due to the amount of animals, and also probably the competence of their keepers, Hannover was fortunate in breeding elephants, and was record keeper in Europe for a long time. This was partly also because they kept bulls in free contact, by means of the head elephant keeper Wolfgang Ramin, who had worked with the bulls before at Circus Knie.
