520 _a"Auf Großtierfang für Hagenbeck: Selbsterlebtes aus afrikanischer Wildnis" by Chr. Schulz is an autobiographical travel and adventure account written in the early 20th century. The book centers on Schulz's experiences as a collector of live wild animals in East Africa for Carl Hagenbeck’s renowned animal park in Hamburg. Instead of describing big-game hunting, Schulz details the challenges and techniques involved in capturing wild animals alive for zoological gardens, providing firsthand insights into the demanding, little-known profession of animal catching and transport. The opening of the book begins with an introduction that positions Schulz’s work as a fresh contribution to the literature on East African wildlife, emphasizing the scarcity of firsthand accounts from professional animal catchers. It recounts Schulz’s early assignments for Hagenbeck, including notable successes such as acquiring young rhinos and elephants, and describes his journeys and impressions through colonial East African towns and landscapes. The narrative offers vivid depictions of local cultures, natural scenes, logistical hardships, and the complex process of organizing animal transports by land and sea. Early adventures include acquiring and caring for diverse animals, the challenges of their shipment back to Europe, and preparations for extended animal catching expeditions into the African wilderness.
