The Dendrological Garden in Erfurt is a hidden gem that combines scientific heritage with natural beauty. Established in the late 19th century as part of the city’s horticultural tradition, it was designed to showcase a wide variety of trees and shrubs from around the world. The garden served both as a teaching site for botany and forestry and as a place of leisure, where visitors could experience exotic species alongside native Thuringian flora. Carefully landscaped paths lead through collections of rare conifers, deciduous trees, and ornamental plants, offering a living encyclopedia of dendrology. Though modest in size compared to larger parks, the garden reflects Erfurt’s long-standing passion for horticulture and education. Today, it remains a tranquil retreat within the city, inviting guests to explore its diverse greenery and appreciate the harmony between scientific curiosity and natural beauty.
Erfurt GermanyThe Dendrological Garden in Erfurt is situated between Luisenpark, Steigerwald forest, and the egapark, south of the Cyriaksberg hill. Established between 1959 and 1961 primarily for botanical study purposes, the garden showcases a diverse collection of plant species, including a notable display of the Rosaceae family, native cherry blossoms, and seasonal rose and perennial groups. The terraced park, with reconstructed seating areas and pergolas, offers visitors a tranquil space for relaxation and enjoying panoramic views. Conveniently accessible via tram lines 2, 4, and 6, with nearby stops at Gothaer Platz and Steigerstraße, it lies adjacent to the extensive egapark and the larger forested areas, making it a peaceful yet accessible retreat close to Erfurt’s urban center and cultural attractions.
