The Botanical Garden of the University of Freiburg is opening its doors to visitors again on May 26, 2021, after it had to close due to the pandemic. According to the Corona Ordinance of the State of Baden-Württemberg that is currently in effect, the Botanical Garden is allowed to open without restrictions when the seven-day incidence has been below the threshold of 50 for five consecutive days in a city or district. This means that contact data do not need to be collected, testing is not required, and the number of visitors is not limited.

Visitors to the Botanical Garden must follow the hygiene concept when visiting the outdoor gardens. All visitors are required to wear a mask and to follow distance regulations. The greenhouses must unfortunately stay closed until further notice.

The entrance on Lerchenstraße and the adjacent part of the garden is currently closed due to construction for a research project. The main entrance on Schänzlestraße and the entrance next to the Institute of Biology II and III are open.
