Botanical Gardens
The Halle University Botanical Gardens have been in existence for more than 300 years, and were the
first of their kind in Prussia. Besides the conservatories, some of which are of historical
interest, the various themed outdoor plant collections are also worth viewing. Also in the grounds
of the Botanical Garden is the observatory dating from 1787-1788, which was built by the architect
of the Brandenburg Gate, Carl Gotthard Langhans.
