I'm a little bit confused about the statement of Zoo Schwerin. According this post Angara is born in Leipzig in 2009, but here in Dierenpark Amersfoort (Netherlands) there is also a tiger born in 2009 in Leipzig with the name Angara and as far as I know it's the sister of Taimyr in Ouwehands Dierenpark.

Is there anyone who can help me out?

The 2009 Leipzig litter consisted of male Taimyr and females Angara and Selenga. It was thought that Selenga had moved to Amersfoort and Angara had moved to Schwerin. However, a check in Amersfoort revealed that they had Angara instead of Selenga. So from then on, they called her Angara. Schwerin actually had Selenga, but kept calling her Angara. Hence, there were thus two Angara from the same litter.
 
In Landau, 17 year old Igor, died. His sister Ninoshka still lives there. Both were born in Schmiding.

Does anybody know who their parents were?

Zoo Landau in der Pfalz on Instagram: "Abschied von Tiger-Senior IGOR – das Team des Zoo Landau in der Pfalz bedauert den altersbedingten Verlust eines seiner Charaktertiere Mit 17 Jahren gehörte IGOR zu den derzeit 13 ältesten männlichen Sibirischen Tigern weltweit. Jüngste im Rahmen einer Narkose erhobene gesundheitliche Befunde und ein sich in den letzten Tagen merklich verschlechterndes Allgemeinbefinden führten am 30.07.2024 zu der Entscheidung, erhebliche Leiden und Schmerzen zu unterbinden und das Tier einzuschläfern. IGOR war, wie seine derzeit noch im Zoo Landau lebende Schwester NINOSHKA, 2007 im österreichischen Zoo Schmiding zur Welt gekommen. Seit Januar 2010 leben beide im Zoo Landau. Tiger sind in der Natur Einzelgänger, die sich nur zur Paarung treffen oder in der Zeit der Aufzucht der Jungtiere bis zu Geschlechtsreife dulden. Die paarweise Haltung unter Menschenobhut ist möglich, da der im natürlichen Lebensraum begrenzende Faktor der Verfügbarkeit großer Beutetiere pro Tigerrevier wegfällt. Die beiden Landauer Tiger hatten sich als Geschwister gut verstanden. Viele Mitarbeitende des Zoos, aber auch viele Stammbesucher, haben IGOR über die lange Zeit in Landau begleitet. Vor allem für die tagtäglich betreuenden Tierpfleger ist der Tod eines solch prägenden Charaktertieres sehr traurig. IGOR wird aufgrund seiner sehr imposanten Erscheinung und seines Wesens und als erster Sibirischer Tigerkater im Zoo Landau in Erinnerung bleiben. U.a. erinnert eine wundervolle auf der Titelseite der 120 Jahre- Jubiläumszeitung abgedruckte Fotoaufnahme an Tigerkater IGOR."

Arisa (born 2021) - Her mother is Boonya who was born at Novosibirsk (arrived at Dyrenparken in 2013). The father is Amur, who came from Magdeburg in 2021. I'm not certain that he was born there though.

Not got a clue on Zamosc sorry

It's the other way around actually. Ussuri is from Dyreparken and Arisa from Zoo Zamosc. This is what I know about them:

1.0 Ussuri (23-09-2021, Dyreparken) (Amur × Boonya)
0.1 Arisa (??-08-2022, Zoo Zamosc) (Makar × Isla)
 
At Zoo Landau, 17-year-old Amur tiger female Ninoschka has died. Due to problems with her eyes, she started seeing less and less. Until finally she had become virtually blind. It was therefore decided to euthanise her.

She was the last Amur tiger in Zoo Landau. In the future, the zoo wants to continue keeping Amur tiger. They are in contact with the EEP to house tigers again soon.

At La Citadelle de Besançon, 13-year-old Amur tiger male Cliff has died of cancer. The zoo is now working with the EEP to find a suitable home for the remaining 14-year-old female Naya.

I have just noticed this news article that says, on 21st or 22nd September, two Amur tigers from the Netherlands will move to Kazakhstan as part of the tiger reintroduction project to Ile-Balkhash Reserve. It doesn't mention which zoo, or the names of the tigers in question.

They are from Stichting Leeuw. This is a rescue centre for big cats located in Dierenpark Hoenderdaell. From there, five Amur tigers are moving this month, two are going to Kazakhstan and three to a rescue centre in South Africa. The tigers going to Kazakhstan are 9-year-old male Kuma and 12-year-old female Bohdana.
