Sangerhausen: The Rosarium with 8,700 varieties – a blooming paradise!

Sangerhausen, a charming small town in Saxony-Anhalt with 25,650 inhabitants, is home to the impressive Europa-Rosarium, which houses the largest rose collection in the world with 8,700 different rose varieties. This diversity is particularly remarkable when you consider that the famous rose garden in Paris can only boast around 3,000 rose varieties. The Europa Rosarium contains almost 2,000 varieties of roses that only exist in this garden.

The Europa Rosarium was founded in 1903 by committed rose growers and has since developed into an extensive and diverse facility. On a total of 13 hectares, visitors gain a comprehensive insight into the world of roses. Each rose is cataloged and its history documented, making the Rosarium an important scientific gene bank that preserves the genetic codes of rose history.

Special features and attractions

Visitors can look forward to a thematic tour that shows the development of the rose from the wild form to modern breeding. A special highlight is the scent garden, where different rose scents can be experienced, making the rosarium a unique experience for the senses. The best time to visit is in autumn, especially late morning when the dew on the flowers has evaporated.

The entrance fee for adults is 7.50 euros, a small price for the great experience that the Rosarium offers. In addition to the roses, numerous trees are also presented, which attract visitors all year round. The Rosarium also functions as an open-air gallery for art lovers as part of “Rose meets Art” and therefore attracts an additional creative audience.

A place for celebrations

The Europa Rosarium has also established itself as a popular wedding venue. Many couples choose to celebrate their big day in the romantic setting of the numerous rose bushes and the beautiful landscape.

Near the Rosarium is the Röhrigschacht Mining Experience Center, which allows you to experience the history of mining from a depth of 283 meters. Sangerhausen thus impressively combines botanical science with industrial heritage, offering visitors a rich range of experiences.
