Colombischlössle Freiburg

The Colombischlössle is a manor house in the city centre of Freiburg im Breisgau where the eponymous archaeological museum is situated.

The "Colombischlössle" (Colombi castle) was built between 1859 and 1861 on the terrain of the former bastion Saint Louis of the town fortification of Freiburg, which had been filled in 15 metres and converted to a garden.

The plans were made by the Freiburg architect Georg Jakob Schneider, who chose the gothic Tudor-style of the English medieval times as inspiration for the historicist mansion.

Johann Georg Thoma, a manufacturer from Todtnau, acquired the estate from the inheritors and converted part of it into building terrain.

Additionally, the Badian association "Badische Heimat" had an office here, as their secretary, Max Wingenroth (1872–1922), was the head of the town's collections.

[10][11] Despite residents seeking legal action at the Freiburg administrative court, a space to safely take drugs was opened in the Rosastrasse.

[10][11] From 1998 to 2014 from November to January there was a Spiegeltent above the fountain in front of the schlössle, serving as the venue for dinner theatre every night, featuring a variety show.
