Freiburg (918 ft.) in the Breisgau, a town with 24,559 inhab. (2500 Prot.), situated 12 M. from the Rhine, vies with Baden and Heidelberg in the beauty of its environs. The mountains of the Black Forest, the picturesque hills in the vicinity, the populous and fertile plain, bounded by the vineclad Kaiserstuhl, and the lovely valley of the Dreisam, all combine to render the situation highly attractive. For nearly 300 years Freiburg belonged to the House of Haps burg; it suffered much in the Thirty Years' War; in 1677 it was taken by the French, fortified by Vauban, and confirmed to them by the Peace of Nymwegen in 1678; by the Peace of Ryswyk in 1697 it was given back to Austria, but conquered by Willars in 1713, after an obstinate defence. It was again restored to Austria by the Peace of Rastatt in 1714, besieged and taken by the French in 1745, and then, after the destruction of the fortifications, once more made over to Austria by the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. The Breisgau, an hereditary possession of the house of Austria, of which Freiburg was the capital, was annexed to Baden by the Peace of Pressburg in 1806, and the town thus restored to the descend ants of the house of Zähringen, by which it was originally founded.
