The wholesaler and city magistrate Johann Maria Heerdegen was the first patron of the park; many others followed him. In addition to the Heerdegen house, he also donated money for an umbrella pavilion in 1840. Architect Georg Erhart Saher drew up extravagant plans for this and called them "mushrooms". Five hand-sketched alternatives adorn the winning design, which was specially drawn with a ruler. These umbrellas, intended as shelters and affectionately known in Franconian as "Regenschärmla", were reproduced in a modern design for the 1994 State Horticultural Show.

Hiking

In the summer months, flower beds are also laid out outside the botanical garden in the adjacent Theresienstein Park. Examples of this are the carpet bed at the lion statue or the planting at Thomashöhe.

Hours of operation are April 1 to August 31 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and September 1 to October 31 from 8:00 a.m. to dusk. The park is closed from All Saints' Day to March 31st. The Association for the Promotion of the Botanical Garden, founded in 1996, and the Theresienstein Hof e. V. allow free entry.
