It is beautiful here

In 2017, a residents' initiative was founded to revitalize the park, which had come under fire due to robberies. The almost one-meter-high wall facing Rotteckring was torn down and replaced by a wall half as high for sitting and lying. Flower beds were planted on the lawn. The redesign of Rotteckring was completed in the summer of 2018.[16] At the beginning of 2019, the city presented its plans to redesign the park for 2.5 million euros. Since, among other things, it was planned to set up a playground again at the northeast corner, the meeting place for drug users was to be moved to the northwest corner, which the residents there opposed. The work should have been completed in the summer of 2021.[17][18] In July 2020, the town hall announced that due to the strained budget situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the three-million-euro redesign was on hold for the time being. A small solution was being sought. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombischl%C3%B6ssle

Beautifully lit at Christmas time. Inside is a museum of prehistory and early history. Stone Age finds from the surrounding area. Many grave goods and finds from Celts and the Romans.

The Colombischlössle was built between 1859 and 1861 in the neo-Gothic style by Georg Jakob Schneider on the demolished baroque bastion of St. Louis. The builder was Countess Maria Antonia Gertrudis de Colombi y de Bode. Between 1947 and 1952 it served as the seat of the Baden State Chancellery. Leo Wohleb ruled the independent state of Baden from here. The museum, which has been in existence since 1983, is the showcase of archaeology in southern Baden. All eras from the Paleolithic to the Early Middle Ages are on display. Some of the objects presented from the region are of supra-regional, even international, importance. On display are Paleolithic female figures - the oldest known works of art in southern Baden -, evidence of metal production from the Bronze Age and precious items from Celtic princely graves, such as the oldest glass bowl north of the Alps. Roman achievements in craftsmanship, everyday life and the military are vividly presented. Regional finds from the early Middle Ages and the Alamannic treasury complete the ensemble. Opening times Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Source:https://www.verein-keltenwelten.de/keltische-staetten/freiburg-colombischloessle/

The palace was built in 1672 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. You have to be satisfied with a view from the outside, since it has been privately owned by the Kageneck family since it was built. During the Wars of the Austrian Succession, the French King Louis XV. 1744 the castle after the Kagenecks had fled to Switzerland. The Napoleonic troops destroyed the buildings. During the Second World War, the Volkssturm occupied the property, followed by French troops. The Kagenecksche family has repeatedly restored the listed building and still uses it today. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Munzingen

Castle type: hilltop castle, hilltop location Today: only remains of ruins Date of origin: before 1064, first documented mention in 1259 Not much is known for sure about the beginning of the castle complex on the Schlossberg. However, castles are said to have existed as early as 1064 when Achkarren was first mentioned in writing on the occasion of the transfer to the Ottmarsheim monastery by King Heinrich IV. These were then expanded several times in the following centuries. After the family castle of the Lords of Üsenberg, Üsenberg Castle on the Üsenberg near Breisach, was probably destroyed by the Breisach family in the 1240s, they are said to have made Höhingen Castle available to the Üsenbergers as a replacement. It was first explicitly mentioned in writing in 1259. Around 1353 the castle was briefly pledged to the Schnewlin im Hof. In 1392, Margrave Hesso von Hachberg bought Werner von Hornberg's share in Höhingen Castle, and he already owned the other part. In 1415 the castle, together with the Margraviate of Baden-Hachberg, came to Margrave Bernhard I of Baden, who bought it from Margrave Otto II of Hachberg, the last of this branch of Baden. Otto was allowed to use Höhingen Castle until the end of his life in 1418. ... After centuries of existence, the castle itself was burned down for the first time in May 1525 during the peasant uprising with the participation of Achkarr farmers. This made Höhingen Castle one of only two margravial castles destroyed by the peasants, although a number of them had been occupied by the peasants. Long-standing disputes between the village of Achkarren and the Margraves over the use of the forest are suspected to be the motive. The farmers later had to compensate Margrave Ernst I of Baden-Durlach for the damage. ... In 1620, Margrave Georg Friedrich von Baden-Durlach rebuilt the castle as a defensive structure and put it into a state of defense, since the events of the war in the Rhine Valley and the Breisach Fortress could be observed well from here. In a contemporary report from the mayor of Breisach to the imperial governor of the Austrian provinces in Waldshut, Höhingen Castle, often referred to as a castle, is described as follows: “Its position was excellent, as it stood in the middle of the mountain's crest on hard rock, which because of its height had difficult access, and could not be commanded from any of the surrounding places. The building was surrounded by strong masonry, on the one hand with a deep ditch, on the other hand it encountered an inaccessible praecipitium [= abyss], which is used from below for a stone pit. The castle had a good cistern.” In 1633 there was an attack from Breisach. The Imperial Catholic troops captured and sacked the castle currently held by the Swedes and supported by the Protestants of Ihring. According to records at the time, the spoils included around 15,000 liters of wine. Property of Ihringen citizens stored in the castle was also lost. There are even reports of the loss of 200 horses and 300 head of cattle, which allows conclusions to be drawn about the dimensions of the facility. After several subsequent disputes about the castle, it was finally set on fire by the now imperial garrison in 1638, when it could no longer be held militarily. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
