Freiburg for art and culture enthusiasts

Cultural events and the Freiburg art scene

Freiburg inspires! Philosophers, historians, musicians, actors, writers, and painters have always been fascinated by the city, its history, and its cultural offerings. You can look forward to a rich cultural experience.

Our event calendar is full of events for every taste. Don't miss a single exhibition, celebration, wine festival, or concert. We are happy to provide you with information about events during your stay in the Tourist Information, or browse through our event flyer.

Morning:

Few sights have more history in them than Freiburg’s landmark, the Münster (Cathedral). It isn’t difficult to spend all day with just this one, magnificent building. How were they able to maintain the colorful, elaborately manufactured windows throughout the war? Why is Joseph hitting the ox on the nose with his stick in a window picture?

Our experienced city guides will answer all of your questions during a tour of Freiburg and give you an entertaining insight into the city’s history.

But Freiburg isn't just about the past. The city presents itself as a pioneering green city with modern, future-oriented architecture.

Modern architecture

The secret to art is that I do not seek, I find. (Pablo Picasso)

Finding art in Freiburg is very easy - whether in public spaces, in small galleries, or in our unique museums.

Centuries-old paintings and architecture will take you on a journey into the past. Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages or the Baroque period and let yourself be enchanted by magnificent art. Contemporary sculptures, modern installations and, of course, paintings are part of today’s Freiburg. The art scene in our city is omnipresent – just look around, in cafés, studios, and the alleys!

Evening:

The range of evening events in our city is varied and fascinating. In Freiburg, we attach great importance to quality and variety.

From Shakespeare to Alemmanic dialect - enjoy an evening at the theater in the Theater Freiburg or at one of the unique, alternative venues such as the Wallgrabentheater or the Theater im Marienbad.

As a city of music, we serve all conceivable genres. Celebrate with the people of Freiburg at one of the city's festivals, or listen to classical sounds against a historical backdrop.

In cushy chairs, armed with popcorn and soda, you can see everything in Freiburg’s cinemas - from blockbusters to independent films.
