Freiburg Government Region
Freiburg Government Region, Administrative region in southwestern Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The Freiburg Government Region is an administrative area in southwestern Baden-Württemberg that stretches from the Black Forest mountains through rolling hills to the Rhine valley plain. It comprises three administrative subregions with nine districts and several hundred municipalities, creating a diverse mix of urban centers and rural communities.
The administrative region was established in 1972 through a territorial reorganization of Baden-Württemberg to streamline regional administration. This reform consolidated several districts into new administrative structures designed to improve efficiency and governance.
The region integrates nine districts and 294 municipalities, each maintaining local traditions while operating under the administrative supervision of District President Bärbel Schäfer.
The region is best explored by car or train, as the municipalities are well connected through a reliable transport network. Plan time for each of the three subregions, as each offers different local attractions and features worth discovering.
The landscape ranges from forested mountain slopes to open plains, creating remarkable geographic diversity across a compact area. This patchwork of elevations and terrain types supports different ecosystems and economic activities in close proximity to one another.
