Arboretum Lohbrügge

Ten-hectare research tree collection by the Thünen Institute in Hamburg-Lohbrügge, with specimens from all climate zones — accessible by prior appointment only.

The Arboretum Lohbrügge is a ten-hectare tree collection maintained by the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute in Hamburg-Lohbrügge. It was created to provide specimens of forestry-significant tree species from all continents and climate zones for teaching and research purposes. The site hosts trees from North America, Asia, and Europe — including rare species you would never encounter in an ordinary park. Greenhouses complement the outdoor collection. Visits are possible by prior appointment. For those interested in forestry, botany, or simply nature away from the usual park experience, the arboretum is a quiet, informative place.
