Sustainability meets quality of life – Located on the edge of the Black Forest, the city of Freiburg im Breisgau is an internationally renowned role model for sustainability and climate protection. Known as Greencity, Freiburg relies on renewable energies, sustainable mobility and innovative urban planning to combine a high quality of life with environmental protection. The ecological showcase district of Vauban, which was developed with the participation of the local population, is known worldwide not only among architects and urban planners.

The city and surrounding area are a pioneering region for solar energy. Freiburg is home to the renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), one of the world’s leading research centers for renewable energies, and the new city hall with its solar façade is considered Europe’s largest plus-energy building and is symbolic of Freiburg’s commitment to climate protection. Freiburg shows how green innovation and quality of life go together perfectly.
