Carl-Schurz-Haus, German-American cultural center in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The Carl-Schurz-Haus is a German-American cultural center at Eisenbahnstraße 58–62 in Freiburg. It occupies multiple floors with a public library of over 20,000 media, a lecture hall, and classrooms. It hosts about 250 events a year, including lectures, exhibitions, workshops, readings, concerts, and English-language film series.

Founded on 17 October 1952 as the Amerika-Haus at Goetheplatz 2, it served as a USIA information center and branch of the Stuttgart consulate. In 1962 US budget cuts turned it into a binational institute funded by USIS, the federal government, Baden-Württemberg and Freiburg. It moved to Kaiser-Joseph-Straße 266 in 1965 and was renamed Carl-Schurz-Haus in March 1969 for Schurz's 140th birthday. In 1985 German backers covered a USIS funding gap, and in 2006 it moved to Eisenbahnstraße 58–62.

The center is named after Carl Schurz, a German emigrant who became influential in American politics and embodied the bridge between the two nations. Visitors experience how this connection shapes the space and programming today.

The center is located in central Freiburg and easily accessible by foot or public transit. Plan your visit around the library hours if you want to browse the collections in person.

Since 2000, the Carl-Schurz-Haus has held a Freiburg Election Night Party every four years for the US presidential election, with live broadcasts and talks; it is the largest event of its kind in southwestern Germany. Since 2001 it has also hosted an annual Independence Day Party in the Ganter Brewery beer garden, often attended by the US Consulate General in Frankfurt.
