Freiburg, the city near the Black Forest
The southernmost major city in Germany has a population of around 220,000, of which about 30,000 are students. The Albert-Ludwigs-University enjoys excellence status and is one of the oldest universities in Germany. The internationally renowned University of Music, the University of Education and several church-run colleges complement Freiburg's educational landscape. Six research institutes of the Max Planck Society and the Fraunhofer Society are located in the direct vicinity of the academic infrastructure. Freiburg is a leading research location for solar technology. Traditional branches of industry are viticulture, tourism and forestry.
In front of the Freiburg Cathedral, a Gothic cathedral with a walk-in church tower once called "the most beautiful tower on earth", is the center of the medieval old town, the Münstermarkt. Famous sights are the Martinstor and the Schwabentor, which used to be the gates in the city wall around medieval Freiburg. Since the Middle Ages, little creeks have been flowing through the streets of the Old Town, providing welcome refreshment on hot summer days and effectively improving the climate in the city center. South of Freiburg lies the Black Forest, known for its dense forests, cuckoo clocks and the Black Forest cherry cake. On the Schauinsland, Freiburg's local mountain, you have a view that can reach as far as the French Vosges mountains on a day with good visibility.
