It was always a question, to me even, how to follow the follower of Professor Grzimek. And I always answered, I think it’s wonderful to move from the Hediger zoo to the Grzimek zoo. But for Richard Faust I think it was totally different. He was the opposite person to Grzimek. And I think Faust suffered very much under Grzimek’s image. And he probably even have had problems in doing a press meeting to announce new things to the press and so on. But I want to be really fair and Faust was a wonderful zoo biologist. And I very, very happy that I was able to name the birdholes in Frankfurt, that was one of his main constructions he did, into Faust birdholes to honor my successor.
