Loki-Schmidt-Garten

Loki-Schmidt-Garten is a botanical garden in Klein Flottbek, Altona, with plant collections from around the world. The grounds include outdoor areas and a glass pyramid-shaped greenhouse that houses tropical and subtropical species.

The botanical garden relocated from central Hamburg to its current location in 1919 to accommodate growing collections. The institution was renamed in 2012 to honor an environmental figure.

The garden is named after an environmental advocate and functions today as a place to learn about plants from different regions of the world. The collections are arranged by geography, so a stroll takes you on a journey across continents.

The garden is open daily, with extended hours during warmer months and shorter hours in winter. Parking is readily available on the grounds, and paths are well marked for easy navigation.

A bronze sculpture by an artist has stood at the garden entrance since 1982. The work carries a thought-provoking title that raises questions about how humans relate to nature.
