Botanical Garden

Important message

Dear visitors

Due to construction work, the Botanical Garden is closed until further notice.

We thank you for your understanding.

Virtual tour of the greenhouse

Only available in German.

In 2022, the Würzburg agency LINSENSPEKTRUM surveyed and digitised the Botanical Garden's tropical greenhouse using the latest laser technology. The result is a virtual experience that allows visitors to explore the garden at any time, from any place, at their own pace and according to their personal interests. As part of an authorisation project, videos and info points were also added so that information on individual departments and plant species can be experienced using VR technology, almost as if you were on a guided tour.

The aim is to capture the entire botanical garden with this technology next spring and thus also make it possible to experience the outdoor area digitally.

Research - Fascination - Diversity

The Botanical Garden is a central institution of the University of Würzburg. It fulfils a variety of tasks in teaching and research - and has a very long tradition and history. The Botanical Garden in Würzburg was founded over 320 years ago.

First and foremost, the Botanical Garden is an educational institution. In the LehrLernGarten, students are trained to teach specialised knowledge to different target groups in a practical way. This is particularly important for the prospective teachers who are being trained at the University of Würzburg.

For interested visitors, the staff and the Friends of pro planta offer a varied programme for the whole family. The events include guided tours, exhibitions, lectures or workshops and an annual plant fair. We cordially invite you to join us. We also offer guided tours for groups on request. (Due to limited capacities, only a small variety of topics can be offered in English.)
