Botanical Garden Frankfurt

It is located at Siesmayerstraße 72, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and opens daily in the warmer months.

By 1903, the garden cultivated more than 4,000 species but its extent had been gradually reduced by hospital expansion until just 7,000 m2 remained.

This move was delayed by World War II and the subsequent American occupation, and relocation was finally completed in 1958.

The geobotanical area contains an alpine garden, arboretum, meadows, steppes, marsh, and pond, as well as collections of plants from the Canary Islands, Caucasus, East Asia, Mediterranean, and North America.

When the biological institutes of the Goethe University moved to the Riedberg, a new botanical garden, the Wissenschaftsgarten, was built there and the Botanischer Garten became part of the City of Frankfurt in 2012.
