Botanischer Garten Münster

The garden was begun in 1803[2][3] by Freiherr vom Stein for the university's medical faculty, with first greenhouses built in 1804.

Noted botanist Carl Correns (1864–1933) directed the garden from 1909–1915, with the first tropical greenhouse built in 1935.

The garden was severely damaged during World War II, with all its greenhouses destroyed.

An artificial stream, meadow, and moor were created during the 1990s, and in 2005 a new medicinal garden added.

In addition to ten greenhouses (total area about 2,000 m²), major garden sections are as follows: Source:[4] The garden contains a good selection of rare and mature tree specimens in its arboretum, including orange trees that are over 200 years old.
