- Short Description
- "The gardens surrounded the bishop´s palace, Willibaldsburg, which was built on a hill overlooking the town. These gardens had been started in 1596 and designed by Besler´s colleague, Joachim Camerarius the Younger (1534–1598), a physician and botanist. Upon Camerarius´ death in 1598, Besler had the remainder of Camerarius´ plants moved to Eichstätt and carried on the work of planting and supervision. The bishop commissioned Besler to compile a codex of the plants growing in his garden, a task which Besler took sixteen years to complete, the bishop dying shortly before the work was published." - (en.wikipedia.org 19.09.2020)
