Wehranlagen, Botanical garden in Schweinfurt, Germany.

Wehranlagen is a park over 2 km long on the left bank of the Main, opposite Schweinfurt's old town. Its western part is a city park with a botanical garden begun in 1869 on the Gademann hill, and its eastern part is a woodland park. The whole area covers about 40 hectares.

The site was originally a military training ground that transformed into a park from 1868 onwards, with plants from China, Japan, and Korea introduced between 1870 and 1890. These botanical collections formed the foundation of today's garden.

The name Wehranlagen derives from a weir separating the Main from the Saumain arm at the Elefantenbuckel, yet old maps already marked the area as Woehr, an old word for a river island. The Schweinfurter Ruder-Club Franken, founded in 1882, has its boathouse on the Main bank, and in odd years the Bavarian rowing championships are held on the regatta course along the park.

The park is accessible via public transportation and has parking spaces near the internal access roads throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for varying path conditions depending on the season.

The zoo at the Pfinz, moved there in 1879 from the Teilberg, included a predator house with lions, bears, monkeys and zebras. It was partly destroyed by aerial bombs in 1944, and Bernhard Grzimek drew up an expansion plan that was never realised; the site decayed from 1949.
