Kirchzarten

Kirchzarten is a village in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald region of Baden-Württemberg, situated amid meadows and forests of the Black Forest. The settlement sits at roughly 380 meters elevation and is defined by its green surroundings and rural character.

The village originated as an agricultural settlement and underwent significant administrative changes throughout the 19th century. These transformations led to its current position within the Dreisamtal region and shaped its long-term development.

The village maintains a strong connection to farming traditions that continues to shape daily life for its residents. This bond with the land is visible in how the community is organized and how people interact with their surroundings.

The location has good connections to Freiburg and provides access to schools, shops, and public services for its residents. The infrastructure supports a comfortable daily life in this rural area.

In the early 1900s, a training center for Jewish youth preparing for farming operated here. Decorative windows from this building were later taken abroad and now reside in a museum in Tel Aviv.
