Botanic Garden

The Botanical Garden in Wrocław was founded in 1811 by F. Heyde and H.F. Link, who also served as the first directors. The garden was built on the site of the demolished city fortifications in the northern part of Ostrów Tumski, and the buried branch of the Odra River, which previously separated the island from the rest of the city.

In 1945, during the siege of the city – “Festung Breslau” by the Red Army, the collection of greenhouse plants and 50% of the tree stand of the Garden were completely destroyed in connection with the hostilities carried out in the city. During the occupation of the city, the Germans set up anti-aircraft artillery positions in the botanical garden, it was also the place where they took air supply drops, there is also evidence that they built numerous shelters with ammunition. Even in the 1950s, during a thorough cleaning of the garden pond, a considerable war-time arsenal was found at the bottom.

W 1945, podczas oblężenia miasta – “Festung Breslau” przez Armię Czerwoną, w związku z prowadzonymi działaniami wojennymi na terytorium miasta całkowitemu zniszczeniu uległa kolekcja roślin szklarniowych i w 50%  drzewostan Ogrodu. W trakcie okupacji miasta Niemcy ustawili stanowiska artylerii przeciwlotniczej w ogrodzie botanicznym, było to również miejsce w którym przyjmowali lotnicze zrzuty zaopatrzenia, istnieją również dowody na to, że zbudowali liczne schrony z amunicją. Jeszcze w latach 50. podczas gruntownego czyszczenia ogrodowego stawu znaleziono na dnie pokaźny arsenał z czasów wojny.
