A symbiotic relationship: The University and Freiburg
Today, it is no longer possible to imagine the city without its University: Its buildings shape the cityscape, its ideas for sustainability, health, and culture the community, its graduates the job market and the demography of one of Germany’s youngest cities. The University, its spin-offs, and its cooperation with companies make for a dynamic hub for business and industry.
Freiburg’s location in the border region facilitates international mobility by public transportation and bicycle. The University attracts outstanding minds from around the world. Those who come here experience that good work and well-being belong together: It is impossible to quantify the many ideas – ideas for research, for student initiatives, for the development of the University – that have been born on a hike to Schauinsland, with a view to Kaiserstuhl, or on a stroll through the streets of the old town with their picturesque little streams. Each of these ideas, however, can transform into a new story that shapes the University.
