Forest Botanical Garden and Phytogeographical Arboretum
This column of the Collection Showcase is only temporary and will be fully populated in January 2023. Thank you for your understanding.
The Forest Botanical Garden and the Plant Geographical Arboretum of the University of Göttingen comprise more than 2,000 woody species on approx. 40 hectares. They thus represent one of the largest and most species-rich collections of woody plants in the German-speaking region. In the early 1970s, the forestry facilities were moved from Hann. Münden to Göttingen. For this reason, between 1968 and 1993, under Professor Walter Eschrich (1924-2005), in addition to the already existing Old Botanical Garden, the Forest Botanical Garden at Faßberg, above the North Campus, was established as a collection with a focus on woody plants.
