Leipzig Botanical Garden, Botanical research garden at University of Leipzig, Germany.

The 3.5-hectare garden contains more than 7,000 plant species, including tropical specimens in greenhouses and native plants in outdoor areas.

Founded in 1540 at a Dominican monastery, the garden moved to its current location on Linnéstraße in 1877 after two previous relocations.

The garden maintains specialized collections for academic research, supporting studies in biology, pharmacy, biochemistry, and medical sciences at the University of Leipzig.

The facility includes wheelchair accessible paths throughout the grounds, five modern greenhouses, and a butterfly house constructed in 1996.

The systematic arrangement of plants covers 363 families, representing sixty-five percent of all known plant families worldwide.
