Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum
The Berlin Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum (German: Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin) is a botanical garden in the Lichterfelde locality of the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Berlin, Germany. Constructed between 1897 and 1910 under the guidance of architect Adolf Engler, it has an area of 42 hectares [ha] (104 acres) and over 20,000 different plant species. The garden is part of the Free University of Berlin and attracts about half a million visitors annually.
Historically, the garden was commonly referred to as the Dahlem Botanical Garden, a name derived from the Royal Domain of Dahlem, where it was established in the late 1890s. However, since the latter part of the 20th century, the area has been included in the Lichterfelde West neighbourhood in the Berlin-Lichterfelde district.
The most well-known part of the garden is the Great Pavilion of Great Tropical Greenhouse (Großes Tropenhaus), and among its many tropical plants, it hosts giant bamboo. The garden complex consists of several buildings, including glass-houses with a total area of 6,000 square metres [m2] (64,583 sq ft). These include the glass Cactus Pavilion and the glass Pavilion Victoria; the latter features a collection of orchids, carnivorous plants and the giant white water lily Victoria amazonica (Victoria-Seerosen). The open-air areas are sorted by geographical origin and encompass about 13 ha (32 acres). The arboretum is about 14 ha (35 acres).
The Botanical Museum (Botanisches Museum), the Herbarium Berolinense (B) and a large scientific library are attached to the garden. The Herbarium Berolinense is the largest in Germany and holds more than 3.5 million preserved specimens.
The Berlin Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum is a botanical garden in the German capital city of Berlin, with an area of 43 hectares [ha] (106 acres) and around 22,000 different plant species. It was constructed between 1897 and 1910 under the guidance of architect Adolf Engler in order to present exotic plants returned from German colonies. It is named the second largest botanic garden in the world, surpassed only by Kew Gardens in London.
The garden is located in the Lichterfelde locality of the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf. When it was founded, a part of it was located in Dahlem, a fact reflected in its name.[clarification needed] Today,[when?] the garden is part of the Free University of Berlin.
