The Botanischer Garten Aachen extends across 1.2 hectares with outdoor gardens featuring over 5,000 plant species and specialized greenhouse collections.

The garden incorporates design elements from Charlemagne's royal garden specifications, documented in chapter 70 of 'de Capitular villis vel curtis imperialibus'.

The garden functions as an educational center for RWTH Aachen University, supporting research activities and botanical studies through its diverse plant collections.

Located at Gut Melaten in Aachen, the garden remains open daily without entrance fees and includes 600 square meters of greenhouse spaces.

The specialized greenhouse collections contain carnivorous plants and succulents, complementing extensive outdoor areas with alpine gardens, marshlands, and heath plants.
