My name is Thibault Kreutzer, I am 26 years old and have the chance to live in the lovely town of Freiburg. I am currently an undergraduate student in geology at the Albert-Ludwig-Universität. I love traveling, running and cycling as well as human and earth history. Hence my aim is to share you my knowledge about this town. This being the history of Freiburg, its transition to the bicycle city we know today and finally the historical regional geology that has shaped the mountains of the black forest as well as those of the Vosges in France.
Possibility in FRENCH: Sur demande, je propose ce tour également en francais le vendredi et samedi après-midi. Si interessé, envoyez-moi tout simplement un message et je vous répondrai le plus rapidement possible!
Possibility in GERMAN: Auf Nachfrage biete ich diese Tour Freitags und Samstags nachmittag auch auf Deutsch an. Dafür einfach eine kurze Nachricht schreiben, die ich so schnell wie möglich beantworten werde.
!!! The meeting point of this walking tour are the stairs of the town theatre (Stadttheater) !!!
From there, we will head towards the old town of Freiburg and discover its streets, most significant historical buildings, the Bächle (the iconic water canals), the two gate towers, and the Freiburger Minster.
Throughout our tour, I will tell you about the most interesting and important historical events, the town’s transition to the bicycle city we find today, and the regional geology by having a closer look at the building stones of the Minster and paved streets.
Finally, you will get an understanding of the earth’s processes in the region that shaped the landscape we find today. The tour ends at the Swabian tower. If you like the sound of that, I am more than happy to welcome you on this tour.
The tour ends at the Swabian tower. For those who are still motivated however, add 30 min to the tour and we will go up to the Kanonenplatz. There you will get an understanding of the earth’s processes in the region that shaped the landscape we find today. If you like the sound of that, I am more than happy to welcome you on this walking tour.
