Greifswald Botanic Garden and Arboretum (total area 9 hectares, German: ''Botanischer Garten und Arboretum der Universität Greifswald''), was founded in 1763. It is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Germany, and one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world. It is associated with the University of Greifswald in Greifswald, Germany. ==History== 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. Within a short period of time, the plants in the botanic garden served both a medical ''and'' a scientific purpose, and the garden was renamed to ''hortus academicus'' one year later.〔(History of the Botanic Garden in Greifswald (German) )〕 Originally, the Botanic Garden was situated near the University of Greifswald's main administrative building, but extensive building activity in the 19th century made a relocation necessary. 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greifswald Botanic Garden and Arboretum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
