Freiburg Botanic Garden
Freiburg Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in the Herdern district of Freiburg, Germany and is associated with the University of Freiburg.
The garden was established in 1620 at the University of Freiburg. It was one of the first botanic gardens in Germany and was originally part of the University’s of Freiburg Faculty of Medicine, where it was used for teaching purposes. During the Thirty Years' War, the garden was destroyed and was rebuilt in 1766, but was relocated to make room for the fortifications built to protect the city after Freiburg had been annexed by France. The botanic garden was laid out near the river Dreisam and its design was heavily influenced by the increased interest in botany during the second half of the 18th century. Being again a part of the Faculty of Medicine, the garden measured approximately 6.6 acres in area and despite damage from floods and the Napoleonic Wars, the garden included an impressive 3,000 plants by 1829, as well as greenhouses built in 1827 and 1828.
In 1878 the garden was again relocated to what is now the Institutsviertel (institutes quarter) and remained at this location until the First World War.
In 1912 the garden moved yet another time to its current location in Herdern district of Freiburg, when a new institute for botany was built there.
Today the garden contains some 8,000 species with collections that include plants from alpine regions, dunes, heaths, marshes, and bogs, four exhibition greenhouses (900 m²) containing tropical plants, ferns, and cacti and succulents.
The botanical garden is used nowadays for education and research reasons and for the protection of uncommon flora, although the attractive and broad range of plant selection is also open for viewing.
