Freiburg im Breisgau

Freiburg is located in Baden-Württemberg, where Germany joins Switzerland and France.

Freiburg is a cosmopolitan city with a distinctly southern flavour.

Residents have a long-standing dedication to sustainable development, always preferring walking and cycling to move about the town centre's beautiful alleyways and lanes.

The city as a whole is modern and daring, and its position as the economic centre of a vibrant area further adds to this open-mindedness.
