Haslach (Freiburg)

Haslach, incorporated into the city on 1 January 1890, is one of the Western districts of Freiburg im Breisgau.

The document, a deed of donation, transferred ownership of some land from Heimo and his daughter Svanahilt to the Abbey of Saint Gall, including Haslach (then called Haslaha).

This neighbourhood with its terraced houses and the appendant large gardens which were intended for the self-sufficiency of the inhabitants nowadays has a landmark status.

Below the basin there are three inscriptions: The cobbled area around the well was originally in the shape of a triangle, but was rounded to the side of Gutleutstraße in 1908 due to the increasing traffic.

From the 17 departments of volunteers, the division Unterstadt (Haslach, Unterwiehre, Vauban and Merzhausen) is responsible for the biggest part of the city.

Haslach also has Freiburg's only comprehensive school (Gesamtschule), that is named after Nobel prize winner Hermann Staudinger.

In Haslach-Schildacker an initial reception center for asylum applicants has been located since 2016 where the academy for the police of Baden-Württemberg used to be.
