250 Years of the Hohenheim Gardens
The Hohenheim Gardens are a key research facility of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. Covering an area of more than 30 hectares, they form the largest part of the campus. The oldest section of the gardens, the Exotic Garden or Franziskas Dörfle, was founded in 1776 by Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg and Franziska von Hohenheim (see Historical Development of the Hohenheim Gardens).
