Andlausches Haus, Classical mansion in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Andlausches Haus is a classical mansion in Freiburg im Breisgau featuring a red sandstone column in its courtyard with the Pfirt family coat of arms and the date 1755. The building stands behind the cathedral and now contains spaces used as a public meeting venue.
The building was erected in 1787 by architect Johannes Wirth for Baron von Pfirt. During World War II, it was completely destroyed in an Allied air raid on November 27, 1944, and subsequently reconstructed.
The building now houses the c-punkt Münsterforum, an ecumenical meeting space that opened in May 2020 with an inclusive café. Visitors and locals use it as an open gathering place for connection and conversation.
The house is located behind the cathedral at Herrenstraße 33 and is easily accessible on foot. Visits are free and the c-punkt Münsterforum regularly hosts open events and café hours for visitors.
Austrian Field Marshal Karl zu Schwarzenberg used the building in December 1813 as quarters for allied military representatives during the campaign against France. Visitors today can connect this stay of a high-ranking commander from the Napoleonic era with the sight of the historical rooms.
