Wentzingerhaus Freiburg, Late Baroque museum in Münsterplatz, Freiburg, Germany.

The Wentzingerhaus features decorated masked heads on its facade and contains an ornate cast-iron spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.

Johann Christian Wentzinger constructed this building in 1761 as his personal residence and studio, incorporating architectural elements of the late Baroque period.

The Museum of Municipal History presents detailed exhibits chronicling Freiburg's evolution from 1120, including the cathedral construction and 17th-century conflicts.

Located at Münsterplatz 30, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with regular admission at 3 euros.

A smiling self-portrait bust of Johann Christian Wentzinger watches over visitors from the building's balcony, marking his permanent presence at the residence.
