City garden and drake monument, Freiburg im Breisgau
As soon as the first rays of sunshine of the year shine from the sky and spring lets the leaves sprout, the city garden is a picnic area, yoga center and concert hall all in one.
Young and old have been coming here since 1888 to enjoy the peace and quiet of the green oasis and stretch their faces towards the sun.
Listen to the birds chirping or watch the ducks waddle towards their oversized counterparts at the drake monument. The drake is said to have warned the people of Freiburg with his loud chatter on November 27, 1944, when bombs from the British Royal Air Force destroyed a large part of the old town within a few minutes. It is said that many people were able to save themselves in air raid shelters. With its neck stretched upwards and its beak open to chatter, it has held its position here since 1953 as a memorial to world peace.
Here in the city garden, the ceramic drake stands in the middle of a pond, surrounded by large, old trees and pond plants.
Between visits to the museum and a tour of the city, let your soul unwind in the beautifully designed gardens. 250 types of roses and countless flower beds decorate the park from spring to autumn.
The Schlossbergbahn takes you to the Freiburg city mountain of the same name, which is almost 460 meters high.

A very special monument is dedicated to a Freiburg drake in the Freiburg city garden. He is said to have saved the lives of several Freiburg residents in the Second World War when, hours before the air raid in 1944, he communicated his premonition to the world through his conspicuous behavior. Many citizens instinctively went to the nearby air raid shelter in the Schlossberg in Freiburg, where they survived the bombing. The city garden and the district around the park were among the areas most heavily damaged by the bombing.

The Freiburg City Garden is a 2.6 hectare park in the Neuburg district.
It has old trees and a large rose garden and is located between Leopoldring, Jacob Burckhardt, Ludwig and Mozart Streets near Freiburg city center.
It is connected to Karlsplatz via the Karlssteg pedestrian bridge made of prestressed concrete. The Schlossbergbahn, an inclined elevator, has been running up the Schlossberg since 2008.
It replaced the Schlossberg cable car built in 1968.
The music pavilion in the park is used in summer for concerts and as an open-air stage, for example. B. used the Theatersport Open-Air Festival in the Stadtgarten, which has been taking place since 1997.
