Amazonienhaus

The Amazonienhaus spans 65 meters in length and reaches 14 meters in height, featuring a steel and glass construction that allows natural light penetration.

The greenhouse opened in 2004 as an extension to the Wilhelma botanical gardens, which originated as a royal pleasure garden in 1850.

The facility presents educational programs about Amazon rainforest conservation while displaying numerous plant species from South American tropical regions.

Visitors can explore the greenhouse's tropical environment through guided tours that explain the relationships between various plant and animal species.

The structure maintains specific humidity levels and temperature controls to replicate authentic Amazon rainforest conditions for its diverse botanical collection.
