Botanischer Garten der Technischen Universität Braunschweig, Academic botanical garden in Brunswick, Germany.
The Botanical Garden of the Technical University of Brunswick is a scientific garden facility in the city with around 4,000 plant species from different regions of the world. The facility spreads across several areas with open-air sections and greenhouses where you can explore tropical, Mediterranean, and native ecosystems side by side.
The garden was founded in 1840 and grew into an important place for botanical teaching and research. Severe destruction during World War II led to a reconstruction that preserved the historical purpose of the site.
The garden serves the Technical University as a teaching space where students and visitors encounter plants from different climates directly. You see not only exotic species here, but also native plants that show how research and education work together.
The main entrance is at the historic gatehouse of the Fallersleber Tor, Humboldtstraße 1, next to the TU Institute of Plant Biology. The grounds lie on both sides of Humboldtstraße, bounded by the Oker to the west and the Bültenweg to the east. The newer southern section, about 100 metres from the core area, is mainly used for research.
The 2006 tropical greenhouse displays a giant water lily species, and in February 2010 a small greenhouse for carnivorous plants was added. The garden also keeps trees planted in 1840, and its 1985 farm garden of about 800 square metres uses Baroque elements.
