Freiburg is of course in the South WESTERN corner of Germany. Whoops! Hey ya'll! In this video I go for a social-distancing-hike not far from where I live in Freiburg, Germany on a small mountain called the Kybfelsen.

    0:38 That's false. The old painting you showed isn't from the Middle Ages. It was the Fortress of Vauban around 1700. St. Martins Gate and the Swabian Gate has nothing to do with this Fortress. The only remaining Buildings are Breisach Gate and Kanonenplatz.

    I love the clip @7:21, it shows how efficient streets can be if we ban cars from some of them. It looks like a hub tram station, compare the experience of transferring a train their vs in Time Square, I know which system I'de rather use!

    Thanks for the video. Freiburg is a wonderful town, but you missed its most important legacy. Edmund Husserl, the founder of Phenomenology, and Martin Heidegger, arguably the most influential philosopher of the 20th century, were both at the university in Freiburg. This would be like going to Athens and not mentioning Plato and Aristotle.

    Hi James, I live in Florida and am planning to move to Europe in about 4 or 5 years. I love Germany (my great grandfather and before all lived in Germany). I dislike snow, hence living in Florida and am trying to find a smaller town/village in Germany where the weather isn't too snowy or cold. Freiburg looks to be pretty decent weather wise considering the majority of Germany doesn't have clear skies and sunny weather like florida. Can you give me a little feedback on the weather there year round and if you have any knowledge of other areas of Germany with decent weather.

    • @thbdg4838
      @thbdg4838 2 года назад

      Well, FREIBURG is good choice bc it´s known to be a warm city with a lot of sun. The snow is up in the mountains of the blackforest, so Freiburg doesn’t have much snow like i.e. the region of Allgäu where the famous castle Neuschwanstein is located. But Freiburg is not a big city. If you’re looking for sth bigger, fancier with more culture, exhibitions, theater etc. you should consider Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Leipzig or Dresden.Good luck!

    1:48 is completely wrong! The “Bächle“ were never built for waste but for water for the horses!

    • @jamesingermany332
      @jamesingermany332 3 года назад

      You’re right! Waste often collected in the Bächle but they weren’t originally designed for the purpose of waste removal. The Freiburger Bächle have a long and storied history. Get an overview here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiburg_B%C3%A4chle?wprov=sfti1

    • @sandralindenfelser6576
      @sandralindenfelser6576 Год назад

      Actually the Bächle were used to clean the streets from all the stuff which were thrown onto the streets. There were the Bächleputzer who swept the dirt into the Bächle and then out of the town.

I am wondering what the housing costs are like. From what I can see, it's pretty darn expensive. We would like to buy a house there. Can you give us any ideas of what a house costs there? Maybe any websites that I can get on to see what the homes go for there. Any help would be appreciated. Craig and Elisabeth (craigsommerdorf@gmail.com)
