Ellerhoop-Thiensen Arboretum

The Ellerhoop-Thiensen Arboretum is an arboretum and botanical garden in the village of Ellerhoop, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany which is open daily to the public for a small charge.

The use of the site for horticulture dates to 1943 when Timm & Co. created a nursery here. In 1956 its last owner, Erich Frahm, established an small arboretum together with dendrologist Dr. Gerd Krüssman. In 1980 the site was acquired by the state, along with a further 10 hectares for expansion, and a group including the Botanical Garden of the University of Hamburg helped plan its future. In 1989 the non-profit Arboretum Förderkreis Baumbark Ellerhoop-ThiensenV was formed to support the arboretum, and in 1996 it took over full responsibility. Today the arboretum serves to help teach practical and theoretical biology, including both training in horticulture and academic botanical research. ...more...
