Botanischer Garten der Technischen Universität Dresden, Research botanical garden at Stübelallee, Dresden, Germany
Description
The botanical garden at TU Dresden is located within Großer Garten and houses around ten thousand plant species across outdoor beds and five specialized greenhouses with different focuses. The collection spans temperate zone plants as well as tropical and subtropical varieties.
History
Ludwig Reichenbach founded Dresden's first botanical garden in 1820 with a collection of roughly 7,800 plant species near Brühl's Terrace. The facility was later relocated to its current location in Großer Garten and evolved into a major research institution for the university.
Culture
The space functions as a working research facility where students and scientists study plants regularly throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the garden serves as a living laboratory for hands-on botanical study.
Practical
The garden is open daily with varying hours depending on the season, offering longer access in summer and shorter periods in winter. The terrain can be challenging to navigate in places, so wearing comfortable shoes and checking conditions before your visit is helpful.
