Freiburg's Münsterplatz - archaeology and history

After an introductory overview of the state of research, Chapter 1, taking into account the latest excavations, examines the archaeologically tangible burials up to the abolition of the churchyard in 1515 and the renewed use as a military cemetery in the 17th and 18th centuries. This is followed by a discussion of the cemetery's furnishings and in particular the course of the churchyard wall, with Renn partially questioning the phases of the wall's development reconstructed by Ralf Burgmaier in 1996. Chapter 3 explains other functions of the churchyard as a legal and judicial place and as a meeting place. Chapter 4 is devoted to the buildings on and around the square. Renn can show that parts of today's Münsterplatz were built up until the 14th century and that the facades of the surrounding houses were not initially facing the churchyard. It was only when the choir was built in the 14th century that the houses on the square were demolished and the facades of the other houses turned towards the square and magnificently decorated. Although the associated upgrading of the square led to increased building activity, the churchyard wall initially remained standing - as described in Chapter 5 - although sales arbors were added to its outside. It was not until 1785 that the churchyard wall and the corn arbors were torn down and a "representative open space" created.

Hikers should stop here to get some refreshment.

Whether it's Brunner's sausage roasting shop, Meier's sausage stand, the organic sizzling stand, or Licht's sausage stand - the Lange Rote has long been a Freiburg institution:

The grilled sausage without casing, which measures a full 35 cm, is on a par with the Münster, the Augustinermuseum or the Bächles on the Freiburgers' scale of attractions.

So, go ahead and try Freiburg's crispiest landmark on Münsterplatz!

The Münsterplatz in Freiburg's old town is the paved area that surrounds the Freiburg Minster.
Freiburg streams flow along the edges of the square.
The Münsterplatz is the largest square in the city.
On the south side of the Münsterplatz are the historic buildings "Haus zum Ritter", Historisches Kaufhaus, Wentzingerhaus and Alte Wache, as well as the Kornhaus with the Fischbrunnen on the north side.
