Space, state, territory, region and habitat: alpine gardens in the Habsburg countries
Botanical gardens represent institutionalized space, in which epistemes are not only present as cognitive elements, but are put into visual form and practice on different levels.1 Moreover, the self-referential spatial connection of each botanical garden receives its dimensions by means of various space designs and connotations, and variable scientific allocations of meaning also communicate with entirely different, overlapping political spaces of associations. The aim of this paper is to look at constellations between space and science as well as between concepts and practices, design of gardens and cultural-political meanings, but also to try to answer the question in what context this specific form of a botanical garden, namely an alpine garden, established itself and what scientific questions were solved in those gardens.
