Munich’s Old Botanical Garden — from the portal to the fountain
Start with the old garden gate and follow the paths through the lawns. The short walk takes in two different periods in the making of this city park.
From the source
Munich’s Old Botanical Garden is a public park between the main station and Lenbachplatz. The early nineteenth-century entrance portal survives on the east side. The present park layout, with a fountain facing the Palace of Justice, took shape in the 1930s.
Editorial reading
The city identifies Emanuel von Herigoyen’s eastern portal as the surviving structure from the original botanical garden. The axis from the Neptune fountain towards the Palace of Justice belongs to the later municipal park. Together they show how the same ground was adapted for public use.
Recommendation
Enter from the Lenbachplatz side to see the historic portal first. Then cross to the Neptune basin and look back towards the Palace of Justice to read the park’s later alignment.
