GERMANY ~ Freiburg im Breisgau ~

... Many different views of the major sights and historic landmarks... a city picturesquely situated right on the edge of the Black Forest complete with medieval buildings and cobblestone streets... known as the "Jewel of the Black Forest"... this picture-perfect city is celebrating its 900th anniversary, but its innovative design makes it one of the world’s most sustainable and liveable cities... this small university city is often referred to as Germany’s sunshine capital because it has more sun hours than anywhere else in the country... the city will be celebrating its 900th birthday with many projects and events...and like always 🙂👍with great matching stamp and wonderful postmark... Big Thanks Dustin! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Freiburg is located in Baden-Württemberg at the foot of the Black Forest near the border triangle of Switzerland, France and Germany in the heart of the major Baden wine-growing region.

The city was founded by Konrad and Duke Berthold III of Zähringen as a ‘Fortified Town of Free Citizens’ (hence its name) in the year 1120.
