Botanischer Garten Rombergpark
Botanischer Garten Rombergpark, Botanical garden with English landscaping in Dortmund, Germany.
The Rombergpark extends across 68 hectares, featuring diverse plant collections, winding paths, and specialized greenhouses displaying exotic species from multiple continents.
The garden originated in 1820 as a private estate belonging to the von Romberg family before the city of Dortmund acquired it in 1927 and transformed it into a botanical garden.
The garden maintains Europe's largest collection of ornamental woody plants, with 4,500 different species contributing to botanical research and education.
The outdoor areas remain accessible every day around the clock, while the greenhouses follow specific opening hours and offer guided tours throughout the year.
The garden combines an English landscape design with scientific plant collections, functioning as both a recreational park and a living museum for plant conservation.

Dortmund combines industrial heritage with contemporary cultural offerings across its different districts. The city features a variety of sites, from Signal Iduna Park, Germany's largest football stadium with 81,365 seats where Borussia Dortmund has played since 1974, to the German Football Museum, which traces the history of the sport on 7,000 square meters of interactive exhibits. Green spaces are significant, including Westfalenpark, a 70-hectare park home to the 209-meter-high Florianturm and extensive rose gardens, and Dortmund Zoo, where 1,500 animals from 230 species, mainly from South America, reside across 28 hectares. Cultural institutions reflect Dortmund's mining past and its artistic scene. Zeche Zollern, a former coal mine from 1898, displays its original machinery hall and documents the industrial era of the Ruhr. The Museum of Art and Cultural History hosts collections from the Middle Ages to today within its 1924 Art Deco building. The Dortmund Concert Hall hosts classical and jazz concerts in its 1,550-seat auditorium. Lake Phoenix exemplifies urban redevelopment: this former steelworks site transformed in 2010 offers 3.2 kilometers of pathways along the water. Mengede Castle, a 13th-century fortress surrounded by moats, illustrates medieval architecture in Westphalia.
