Tours on Freiburg's university history

The Uniseum of the University of Freiburg is offering a special highlight for the city's anniversary in 2020/21: Under the motto "Uniseum goes public", the museum is organizing city walks to university sites in the city. A total of five discovery tours will take place between July 1 and July 24, 2021.

"With the walks, we want to show how closely the city's history is linked to that of the University," explains Sandra Haas, curator at the Uniseum. The city walks are financed with money provided by the Förderverein Alumni Freiburg e.V. for the city anniversary program.
