Botanical Garden Leipzig
Leipzig, Germany
The Botanical Garden Leipzig, maintained by the University of Leipzig, is the oldest botanical garden in Germany with origins dating back to around 1542.
It was initially established as a medicinal plant garden at a former Dominican monastery in the city and moved several times before settling at its current 3.5-hectare location on Linnéstraße in 1877. The garden features around 7,000 plant species across diverse collections including systematic displays, regional flora, and greenhouses with tropical and subtropical plants.
It serves important roles in research, education, and public engagement, with facilities such as a butterfly house and a “scent and touch” garden for interactive experiences. The garden combines historical legacy with modern botanical science and remains freely accessible to visitors, offering a rich natural and cultural experience in Leipzig.
