Bad Wiessee's mayor Robert Kühn: "We didn't make this decision easy for ourselves" The local council voted unanimously in a closed meeting to close the Aquadome, which opened in 2010. The visitors complained about the "unclean" aquariums and the 'unworthy' way they were kept.
The concept was apparently "too close to nature" for the tastes of many visitors; what was wanted these days was more artificial worlds à la Seaworld. "We believe that the concept, which was quite innovative at the time, is no longer up to date," said the fisheries department of the Upper Bavaria district. "This naturally led to incidents that some visitors were unable to explain,' the community said resignedly.
