Alter Botanischer Garten Tübingen

The garden extends across multiple sections featuring diverse plant collections, greenhouses, and carefully maintained pathways for scientific research and education.

Founded in 1535 by Leonhart Fuchs, the garden started as a collection of medicinal plants and expanded through centuries of academic cultivation and research.

The garden functions as an educational center where students and researchers study plant biology, conduct experiments, and document botanical developments.

Located at Am Stadtgraben 9, the garden maintains regular opening hours and provides educational programs throughout the year for university students.

The garden housed 5,226 plant species by 1859 and featured four specialized greenhouses, including a palm house constructed in 1886.
