Old Botanical Garden, Kiel, Cultural heritage botanical garden in Brunswik, Kiel, Germany.
The Old Botanical Garden extends across 2.5 hectares of land, featuring curved walkways, multiple ponds, and collections of herbaceous plants at Düsternbrooker Weg.
The garden originated from a private park created by tobacco manufacturer Abraham Christian Brauer in 1825, later becoming part of the University of Kiel in 1868.
The garden inspector's cottage has been transformed into the Literature House of Schleswig-Holstein, where literary events and readings take place throughout the year.
Located at Düsternbrooker Weg 19, the garden remains open daily without entrance fees, allowing visitors to explore its grounds from morning until evening.
Two specimens of Metasequoia glyptostroboides planted in 1948 from Arnold Arboretum seeds stand among the earliest examples of this species in Europe.
