Freiburg Stühlinger

Stühlinger is a district to the west of the historic city center of Freiburg im Breisgau.

Although historically correct, the railroad Freiburg-Colmar is the north end of the Stühlinger and therefore Stühlinger-Beurbarung is not part of the district anymore.

The district borders the area of the central train station of the Deutsche Bahn AG to the east, the river Dreisam to the south, tracks of the railroad freight transportation to the west and the district Brühl to the north.

The end and recovery from the Franco-Prussian war and the foundation of the German Reich in 1871 pushed the development further.

As a result, the city of Freiburg designated three streets parallel to the tracks of the railsroad and five crossroads as a new building site named "Hinterm Bahnhof" ("Behind the train station").

A pedestrian subway at the train station and a bridge ending at the church square in Stühlinger were and still are the connections to the city center.

For example, a gas work, which was located in the Wiehere before moved to the south of Stühlinger and a new power station was built.

A year after the bombardment on November 27, 1944 a light railway was installed to transport the rubber of the destroyed buildings to the former gravel quarry "Flückiger".

Building authorities and the employment agency established their locations here, and a clinic concerned with tumors and more dormitories for students were set up.

A cultural facility which is known in Freiburg is the former electrical company "E-Werk" which is used as an artist's workshop, exhibition rooms or for theater productions.
