Botanischer Garten der Universität des Saarlandes

The botanical garden of Saarland University is a teaching and research space located at the western edge of the campus. The grounds are divided into tropical greenhouses, temperate houses, and outdoor areas where hundreds of plant species grow.

The garden was established in 1952 and created by academic specialists. Early plant collections came from botanical gardens in nearby regions.

The name reflects its role as a teaching space connected to the university. Visitors can observe plants from different climates and see how they grow in controlled environments here.

The garden is easily reached from the campus parking area and has marked paths through all sections. Visitors should know that some greenhouses may have limited hours during cold months to protect the plants.

The garden preserves rare plant species that are difficult to find in their natural environments. Some of these species come from distant mountain regions and would not survive in this area without the controlled conditions.
