Konviktstraße, Medieval street in Old Town, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Konviktstraße is a medieval street running through the heart of Freiburg's old town, lined with restored period buildings on narrow cobblestone paths. The structures display various architectural styles that blend together to form a unified streetscape.
The street began as a trade route in the 11th century and has shaped the city since then. It was completely destroyed during wartime but was carefully rebuilt in the years that followed.
The street's name comes from Latin roots referring to educational institutions, showing its deep connection to the city's academic life. Today you can still see this link reflected in how the buildings are used and their role in the community.
The street is open to pedestrians during the day and connects to nearby bus and tram stations. You can reach it easily on foot from most parts of the city center.
Purple wisteria flowers hang down in spring and cover the building facades like natural decoration. This blooming display transforms the medieval setting into a particularly colorful backdrop.
