Rathaus, Government building in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Rathaus is a government building in Freiburg im Breisgau combining older and newer structures in Renaissance style. The complex features asymmetrical building lines with several ground-floor entrances across its arrangement.
The city acquired a building at Franziskanerplatz in the early 14th century to establish a clerk's office. In 1557, builder Dietrich Neeb was commissioned to undertake a major expansion.
The building displays artworks and design elements that reflect Freiburg's local traditions and identity. The facade shows works by various artists that have shaped its appearance over time.
The building houses a citizen service center offering municipal services. Visitors can view the Renaissance architecture and artistic facade from the outside.
The building received the German Sustainability Award in 2018 for its zero-energy design. It generates more electricity than it consumes.
