Bischweiler Tree Nursery
The Bischweiler Tree Nursery is a partially managed green space belonging to the Munich Horticultural Department in the Untergiesing district . More than half of the site is now a public green area called themed gardens on Sachsenstrasse . The oldest and most famous of these theme gardens is the rose garden. The park-like facility has become a popular local recreation area.
location
The nursery Bischweiler ( location ) lies to the right of the Isar between the Schyrenbad and Braunau railway bridge on the Sachsenstraße 8. It forms part of a continuous green corridor extending from the Maximilian and Gasteig plants on spring plants to the southern Isar facilities and Hellabrunn Zoo extends . This green corridor is part of the Isarauen landscape protection area in Munich (LSG-00120.09).
In the northeast, the tree nursery is bounded by Sachsenstrasse, in the southwest by the flood dam of the renatured Isar . Through the terrain flowing Freibadbächl ( location ). A small, listed mansard roof house ( location ) is located on Sachsenstrasse, completely enclosed by the tree nursery area . Opposite the tree nursery, on the other side of Sachsenstrasse, is the depot south ( Lage ), the oldest still existing site for municipal waste management with its listed director's villa ( Lage ).
history
In addition to the tree nursery on the Flaucher , from 1841 to 1896 there was also a tree nursery run by the Munich city nursery on Kalkofeninsel . When the Müllersche Volksbad was supposed to be built there, they turned to the area immediately upstream of the Schyrenbad ( Lage ). Between the outdoor swimming pool and the Isar, a youth gymnasium (now Sachsenstraße 2 school sports facility ) ( location ) was built according to plans by the then city gardening director Jakob Heiler, where a stone sculpture of a wrestler group ( location ) by Mathias Gasteiger was also erected in 1896 , which is now a listed building. Between 1897 and 1901, a layer of earth up to one meter thick was laid south of the outdoor swimming pool and gymnasium. In 1901 the new tree nursery was laid out there, also according to plans by Jakob Heiler.
The name "Baumschule Bischweiler" comes from the no longer existing Bischweilerstraße, which was located between the swimming pool and the Isar and led to the tree nursery. A road sign with the inscription "Bischweilerstraße" has been set up as a reminder on a path within the site that leads north past the rose garden.
Nursery
The basic structure and the network of paths of the tree nursery ( location ) have been preserved since the time it was founded. The building department cultivates flowers, bushes and trees there for the urban green spaces. The nursery specializes in ornamental and climbing trees, especially those with eye-catching flowers, fruits and colors. The plants are signposted for the information of the visitors.
Themed gardens
rose Garden
The rose garden ( location ) is an area of around 4500 square meters with around 200 different types of roses and 8500 rose bushes. Since 1955, long-term tests have been carried out on around a third of the area in the form of a viewing garden to determine which roses are suitable for inner-city planting. Differences and similarities between bed , shrub and climbing roses as well as ground cover are explained on educational boards.
Lilac garden
In the lilac garden ( Lage ) you can see old lilac varieties that were refined from historical stocks in the tree nursery. Most of these 19th century varieties came from France . Unfortunately, the lilac garden no longer exists. The bushes have been removed and the area is now used for growing plants for green spaces. Protests by indignant visitors were unfortunately unsuccessful. The lilac trees were transplanted to another place in the garden.
Scented garden
In the fragrance garden ( Lage ) on the back of the southern side wing of the school sports facility building ( Lage ), extra strong smelling plants such as wild roses , citrus fruits , daylilies , vanilla flowers , jasmine and angel's trumpet were used.
Touch garden
In the touch garden for the blind ( location ), plants such as comfrey , gentian , speedwell and wild garlic can be seen and felt in very large, stone-lined troughs, depending on the season . A description in Braille is placed in front of every medicinal and wild plant .
Poison plant garden
The poison plant garden ( location ) is a teaching garden with display boards on very poisonous plants . It is recommended not to leave children unattended. The garden also contains some extremely toxic species, which ingestion can lead to rapid respiratory paralysis. In a pavilion, the flowers, leaves and fruits of the poisonous plants can be viewed using drawings.
Tree trail
A further show garden was built in 2010 on an adjacent area that was used by the Munich waste management company until 2007 . The park-like area contains a tree nature trail ( location ) with some exotic tree species. The area is connected to the rose garden and the other themed gardens via a newly built bridge over the open-air pool stream, which has been renatured and accessible again .
Eco project
Part of this expansion area ( location ), which is located on the back of the nursery building, is used by the Munich environmental organization Green City eV for their "Edible City" project. The city of Munich provides interested citizens with a bed of 2 m² each for the cultivation of annual useful and ornamental plants in order to cultivate them for their own needs. Flowers, lettuce, vegetables and herbs are grown organically without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. In 2019, 150 such mixed culture beds were created.
