Arktisch-Alpiner-Garten der Walter-Meusel-Stiftung Chemnitz

Arctic-Alpine Garden of the Walter Meusel Foundation Chemnitz


The Arctic Alpine Garden was founded by the musician, composer and author of various zoological and botanical books and other publications, Walter Meusel, in 1956. After Walter Meusel's death (1990), the Arctic Alpine Garden was preserved and continued under the auspices of the non-profit Walter Meusel Foundation.

Covering an area of just 2,000 m², the garden is home to around 4,000 plant species, mainly from cold to temperate regions, arranged according to geographical, ecological and sociological criteria. The data-based recording of plant origins enables precise scientific work.

The collections of willows (genus Salix), heathers (Eri¬caceae), ferns (Pteri¬dophyta) and plants from the high mountains of New Zealand are particularly rich. However, saxifrages (Saxifra¬gaceae), plants from the Himalayas, East Asia, the Caucasus, North and South America, the Balkan mountains and the Alps as well as various European low mountain ranges are also well represented. The seeds collected in the garden are made available to many botanical gardens around the world via the international seed exchange programme.
