Baumschule Bischweiler, Public park in Untergiesing district, Munich, Germany
Baumschule Bischweiler is a public park in Munich's Untergiesing district, located between Schyrenbad and Braunauer Railway Bridge. The park includes themed gardens with roses, lilacs, fragrant plants, and a tactile garden where visitors can experience plants through touch.
The park was established in 1901 based on plans by city garden director Jakob Heiler and named after the former Bischweiler street. This founding created the foundation for the green corridor that now extends between the Maximilians and Isar areas.
The name comes from the vanished Bischweilerstraße, once leading from the baths to the nursery; a street sign on a path north of the rose garden recalls it. The rose garden holds around 200 varieties and 8,500 bushes, with a trial section testing roses for inner-city planting since 1955. In the blind-accessible garden, herbs and wild plants grow in large stone troughs, each labelled in Braille.
The grounds are open daily without admission fees and easily accessible on foot from nearby transit connections. Visitors should wear good shoes since the paths are natural and can vary depending on weather conditions.
The park maintains an educational poison plant garden with information panels about toxic species and their potential dangers. This unusual collection allows visitors to safely identify and learn about harmful plants.
