Good news! According to the current coronavirus ordinance valid from 21 June 2021, the Botanic Garden can open again without having to take advance bookings and without having to record visitors' details for contact tracing. This easing will be in place as long as the number of infections place Nordrhein-Westfalen on incidence level 1 ("Inzidenzstufe 1"). We will therefore open the Botanic Garden again for our visitors from Saturday 26 June 2021. As of Saturday, the usual opening times apply.

In accordance with still existing hygiene rules, only the outddor part of the Botanic Garden will be open to the public. Unfortunately, the display houses and the Chinese Garden will still have to stay closed. It is too difficult if not impossible in these areas to comply with the obligatory distance and hygiene rules.

We look forward to your visit!

The Garden Management Team

P.S.: From 21 June 2021 it is no longer necessary in NRW to wear a mask outdoors. This also applies to the Botanic Garden, as long as the minimum distance of 1,5 m is observed.
