More information on Botanischer Garten der Universität Heidelberg
Already in 1593, a botanical garden belonged to the university, although it then had a different location and served mainly to teach the medicine students everything about healing herbs. The botanical garden of today was built from 1914 in the Neuenheimer Feld (on the Northern side of the river Neckar), the botanical institute of the university moved there in 1955. Today the garden does not exclusively serve academic purposes, but offers all other visitors an insight into the world of plants. In the greenhouses, you will find plants from all areas of the world: cactuses, orchids, banana trees, palms and many more. Plants of different bio-systems like upland moors, heathland, alpine or dune landscapes grow in the open-air grounds.
