Botanischer Garten der Universität des Saarlandes, University botanical garden in Saarbrücken, Germany.

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 founded in 1952 at the western edge of the Saarbrücken university campus. Its public greenhouse complex was completed in 1967. In March 2016 the garden closed to the public ahead of schedule after plants were stolen, and it shut permanently on 1 April 2016 following a cost-cutting decision by the Saarland state government.

The garden's name ties it to Saarland University, which founded it in 1952 for teaching, research and public education, especially for schools. A garden support association backed its public outreach, and a medicinal plant museum was attached to the institution, illustrating healing systems from around the world. The garden closed on 1 April 2016 after a state government decision to cut costs.

The garden is closed: it shut on 1 April 2016 by decision of the Saarland state government, and from 22 March 2016 it was already inaccessible to the public except on pre-arranged guided tours. It stood at the western edge of the Saarbrücken campus, with 2.5 ha of outdoor grounds and 1,200 m² under glass, of which 800 m² were display houses.

The garden closed on 1 April 2016 by decision of the Saarland state government, which cited budget cuts; the date was moved forward from the end of 2016. After the April date was announced, plants were increasingly stolen, so the grounds were already closed to the public from 22 March 2016, except for booked guided tours.
