Gasthaus zum Rauhen Mann
A historic inn in the Old Town serving Baden cuisine, seasonal specialties, and offering a unique atmosphere in a building dating back to 1460.
The Gasthaus zum Rauhen Mann is one of the most traditional restaurants in Freiburg’s Old Town. It is located in a historic building dating back to 1460 in the historic “Insel” district, one of the oldest parts of Freiburg. Tanners’ apprentices once lived here, giving the building the name it still bears today.
Since 1995, the restaurant has been known for its home-style, seasonal, and Baden cuisine. In addition to a regular menu, the restaurant offers daily specials that change frequently. Regional classics and traditional specialties define the culinary offerings and reflect Baden’s culture of fine dining.
Its location along the historic Gewerbekanal near Schwabentor (Swabian Gate) and Oberlinden is particularly charming. Anyone exploring Freiburg on foot will find this an authentic place to linger and enjoy themselves. The combination of historic architecture, Old Town atmosphere, and regional cuisine makes the Rauhen Mann a popular destination for both locals and visitors to the city.
Thanks to its central location in the Old Town, the restaurant is easily accessible by public transportation. The Oberlinden tram stop is just a few minutes’ walk away, as is the Schlossberg Hill parking garage for visitors arriving by car.
