I visited a botanical garden in Erlangen - and had fun with frogs

Erlangen is a Middle Franconian city in Bavaria, Germany. Together with Nuremberg, Fürth, and Schwabach, Erlangen forms one of the three metropolises in Bavaria. With the surrounding area, these cities form the European Metropolitan Region of Nuremberg, one of 11 metropolitan areas in Germany.

An element of the city that goes back a long way in history, but is still noticeable, is the settlement of Huguenots after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Please feel free and visit my 2nd post about the Huguenots in Franconia.

Today, many aspects of daily life in the city are dominated by the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Siemens technology group.

The University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität) was founded in 1742 by Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, in the city of Bayreuth, but was relocated to Erlangen the next year. Today, it features five faculties; some departments (Economics and Education) are located in Nuremberg. About 39,000 students study at this university, of which about 20,000 are located in Erlangen. The students allow Erlangen to be a young and cute city.

So let's enter the garden:

The history of the Erlangen Botanical Garden goes back to 1626 in the broadest sense, when a medical-academic garden was established in Altdorf for the newly founded University of Nuremberg. This ‘Hortus Medicus’ in Altdorf was the seventh such university garden in Germany. After its dissolution, some plants from there were transferred to Erlangen.

Just a few years after the establishment of today's Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen (1743), a botanical garden was created here in 1747 in front of the Nuremberg Gate in the southern part of the old town, which no longer exists today.
