Freiburg im Breisgau is a picturesque city located in the southwest of Germany, in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. Known for its medieval old town, eco-conscious lifestyle, and proximity to the Black Forest, Freiburg is often considered one of Germany’s most livable cities. Here’s a detailed geographical description of the city:

---

1. Location

• Latitude/Longitude: Approximately 48.0° N, 7.85° E

• Elevation: The city center lies at around 278 meters (912 feet) above sea level.

• Region: Freiburg is part of the Breisgau region in the Upper Rhine Plain, near the borders of France and Switzerland.

• It is located about:

  • 70 km north of Basel (Switzerland)

  • 50 km west of Donaueschingen (Black Forest source of the Danube)

  • 90 km south of Strasbourg (France)

---

2. Topography

Freiburg lies at the junction of three distinct geographical zones:

a. Rhine Rift Valley (Upper Rhine Plain)

• Flat, fertile plains to the west and north, formed by tectonic rift activity.

• The land here is used intensively for agriculture, particularly vineyards and orchards.

b. Black Forest (Schwarzwald)

• To the east and south, Freiburg is flanked by the foothills of the Southern Black Forest, a forested low mountain range.

• Notable peaks near Freiburg:

  • Schauinsland (1,284 m): A prominent mountain southeast of the city with panoramic views.

  • Rosskopf (737 m): A forested hill with a wind turbine, popular for hiking and cycling.

• The terrain becomes steep and rugged moving into the forested hills.

c. Kaiserstuhl Range

• To the northwest of Freiburg, the Kaiserstuhl is a small volcanic hill range known for wine production.

• It’s geologically distinct, with rich volcanic soils that support unique flora and fauna.

---

3. Hydrology

• Dreisam River: Flows through the city from east to west. While small, it plays an important role in city planning and flood management.

• The city has a network of small streams and Bächle, shallow water channels that run through the streets of the old town—part of a historic water management system.

• Freiburg sits on permeable gravel and sandstone soils, helping natural drainage.

---

4. Climate

• Type: Warm-summer oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), bordering on a humid subtropical climate.

• Freiburg is one of Germany’s warmest and sunniest cities.

  • Average annual temperature: ~11°C (52°F)

  • Average annual precipitation: ~850–1,200 mm

• Microclimate effects from the surrounding hills create localized variations, especially on south-facing slopes used for vineyards.

---

5. Urban Geography

• The city is spread in a semi-circular pattern, opening westward onto the Rhine Plain.

• Districts/Subdivisions:

  • Altstadt (Old Town): Historic center with cobbled streets, the Gothic Freiburg Minster, and medieval architecture.

  • Vauban: A famous sustainable district with car-free zones and energy-efficient buildings.

  • Wiehre, Herdern, Stühlinger, Zähringen: Residential areas with a mix of traditional and modern housing.

  • Littenweiler, Günterstal, Kappel: Suburban districts extending into forested valleys.

• Transportation: Connected by autobahn A5 (Karlsruhe–Basel) and a major rail corridor (Mannheim–Basel).

---

6. Land Use

• Urban area: Densely built in the central and western parts.

• Agricultural land: Surrounding plains are dominated by vineyards, orchards, and cereal crops.

• Forested area: Over 40% of Freiburg’s territory is forested, primarily in the east and southeast (Black Forest).

• Green spaces and nature reserves: Include Schlossberg, Mooswald forest, and parts of the Black Forest National Park to the east.

---

7. Environmental Features

• Freiburg is known for sustainable urban planning, with extensive bike paths, green roofs, and eco-housing projects.

• Renewable energy (especially solar) plays a key role; the city has earned the nickname “Green City”.

• The city actively integrates nature conservation with urban development.
