Münsterplatz Freiburg

Highlight • Religious Site

What Cologne's Cathedral is to Cologne, Freiburg's Münster is to Freiburg. At least there are parallels: Planning and construction were incredibly time-consuming and even today require constant maintenance – all the more impressive when you stand before it. Apart from that, it is really beautiful here in the middle of Freiburg. Perfect for ending a bike tour in a pleasant atmosphere.

Historic Merchants' Hall (Historisches Kaufhaus), Freiburg

Highlight • Historical Site

Historic department store, Freiburg im Breisgau
In the Middle Ages, standing in line meant that merchants had to wait at the city gate after an arduous journey in a horse-drawn cart. Here the goods were checked and the amount of customs duty was determined. That could take some time - especially when trade in Freiburg increased significantly in the 14th century. The city gates were literally bursting at the seams, and so it was essential to set up a place specifically for goods storage and customs clearance. Such a house belonging to the city market administration was mentioned for the first time in 1378.
As an extension of these areas, the cathedral architect Lienhart Müller built the historical department store at the beginning of the 16th century, approximately between 1520 and 1532. Moved forward from the line of neighboring buildings, the magnificent façade with its artfully decorated bay towers and arcades is particularly effective.
The 300 square meter inner courtyard is hidden behind the wide entrance gate. Where goods were once stored, open-air events such as the “Freiburger Weinkost” now take place.
The inner courtyard is connected to the fireplace room via a spiral staircase. Inserted into this room in the 15th century by the then cathedral architect, he gave it its name.
While the pompous Imperial Hall impresses with its mighty oak columns, virtuoso ceiling ornaments from the 18th century in the Rococo Hall create an artistic sky over the guests.
