When looking at these pictures of the indoor primate enclosures, bear in mind that although they don't look very good, they do have climbing areas and in many cases the animals have access to multiple indoor enclosures. Additionally, there are fairly large outdoor enclosures too, so whilst not the best, I think these are adequate.
(and yes, they are Patas Monkeys. I have a picture of the outdoor enclosure which I could post if you want, though you seem to be having a fairly thorough trawl of the Tierpark Berlin gallery so you'll probably find a picture of it somewhere)

At least here they have an outdoor enclosure. In my native Barcelona zoo, Patas monkeys and a bunch of others are kept in a gallery of cages which, despite having generous climbing equipment, are not much better than this indoor enclosures, and it's all there is.

The Patas enclosure is very good I think. Expecially for a more terrestrial species. Do you remember what was in the smaller outdoor enclosure at the back of the House. I thought that was the only really poor one. Maybe colobus?

Lemurs I do not know exactly which ones are kept there now, but it could be mongoose, collared and black lemur...
Most indoor enclosures here have been refurbished recently, so look much nicer now and some South-American species have been added (tamandua, howler monkey and yellow-breasted capuchin), I think all patas have left fot Leipzig....
On the day that we visited, there were Collared Lemurs in the small enclosure, and Black Lemurs on the other side of the building.
I don't have any pictures or notes of Mongoose Lemurs in the Monkey House on that day, but I may have missed them of course.
