After Baden-Baden we took a short train ride to Freiburg. In the center of this very picturesque town is the Freiburg Minster. The building started around 1200 in Romanesque style the construction continued in 1230 in Gothic style.

Freiburg was founded by Konrad and Duke Berthold III of Zahringen in 1120 as a free market town; hence its name, which translates to "free (or independent) town." Frei means "free", and Burg also means "a fortified town." Thus, it is likely that the name of this place means a "fortified town of free citizens."
