Offenburg, District capital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The administrative center of Ortenaukreis contains numerous half-timbered buildings surrounding a central marketplace with a neo-Gothic town hall from 1843.

First documented in 1148, Offenburg received its status as a Free Imperial City by Frederick II in 1240 until Napoleon dissolved it in 1803.

The Salmen Inn stands as a memorial to the 1848 revolution, where citizens presented democratic demands known as the Offenburger Program.

The city operates 2,000 business locations, focusing on media, construction, and engineering sectors, with multiple educational institutions serving 4,500 students.

The multilingual chatbot OFFI assists citizens in 95 languages, making municipal services accessible to international residents and visitors.
