Greifswald Botanical Garden and Arboretum (total area 9 hectares, German: Botanischer Garten und Arboretum der Universität Greifswald), was founded in 1763.

The Botanic Garden in Greifswald was founded in 1763 by Samuel Gustav Wilcke als hortus medicus, i.e. as a physic garden growing plants for medicinal research.

Professor Julius Münter arranged for the move to a two hectare area west of the city centre, which was completed in 1886.

Sixteen greenhouses are situated across the garden today, about half of which are open to the public.

The Botanic Garden and the Arboretum are used by the university and students for research and teaching purposes to this very day.
