February 11, 2026, Botanical Garden Erlangen

The Botanical Garden's outdoor area is located right next to the palace gardens – peaceful, green, and surprisingly diverse. Admission is free, but small donations are welcome. The garden is open from mid-April to September from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and from October to March until 4:00 p.m. Definitely worth a short visit.

According to the description panel: "Replica of a martyr's column from 1547 for the Nuremberg patrician's son Schedel, who was executed by mercenaries of Emperor Charles V. Both have honorary graves in the Johannisfriedhof cemetery in Nuremberg. The original stood in the Tennenlohe military training area and was relocated here."

The Huguenot Fountain is an important monument in Erlangen, commemorating the history of the Huguenots in the city. It is located in the extensive palace gardens, one of the earliest Baroque gardens in Franconia. In the 17th century, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685, numerous Protestant Huguenots fled France. Margrave Christian Ernst of Brandenburg-Bayreuth offered them refuge in Erlangen. The Huguenot Fountain was designed and erected by Elias Räntz in 1706. It was intended to honor the settlement of the French religious refugees and the Margrave's achievements.

Beautiful, well-maintained gardens. Even if the austerity of a Baroque garden has been somewhat softened, it's still worth a visit.
