Ökologisch-Botanischer Garten der Universität Bayreuth, University botanical garden in Bayreuth, Germany.

The Ökologisch-Botanischer Garten der Universität Bayreuth is a large grounds displaying over 10,000 plant species across different areas, including specialized greenhouses for various climates. The facility is divided into four main sections where plants are organized according to their ecological needs and geographic origins.

The garden was founded in 1978 when the University of Bayreuth aimed to establish a center for ecological teaching and research. Since then, it has remained a key part of the university's work in environmental studies and practical ecology.

The garden serves as a living research center where students and visitors can directly experience plant diversity from various climate zones. The collections allow people to understand ecological relationships through observation rather than just learning them in theory.

The garden is open daily except Saturday, with free admission. A public guided tour takes place on the first Sunday of each month, and additional free tours run in summer. The grounds cover 16 hectares, so allow time to walk between the outdoor sections and the greenhouses.

The grounds contain a large area with scientific measurement equipment and experimental plots that help the university gather real environmental data. These research areas are visible to visitors and demonstrate how scientists study nature in practice.
