Greifswald Botanical Garden
Highlight • Natural
In 1763, a medicinal plant garden was established between today's main university building and the ramparts. In the course of the 19th century, the university campus in the southern city center was greatly expanded, so that the Botanical Garden became increasingly restricted. According to plans by Julius Münter, a new garden with greenhouses was completed in 1886 on an area of two hectares at the current location of the Botanical Garden in Fettenvorstadt.
Due to its size, the newly designed Botanical Garden did not have enough space for trees, so in 1934 a second location for trees, the Arboretum, was founded on Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Straße. Plans to merge the two locations on the arboretum site were not realized, so that to this day both locations exist separately from each other.
The historic listed greenhouses from 1885 are located on Münterstrasse. The palm greenhouse with warm and cold house in particular is of particular national importance as an individual monument, also due to its rarity.
The plants are sorted according to geographical and ecological criteria.
Admission is free, but donations are requested.
