Freiburg im Breisgau
A university city at the foot of the Black Forest, close to the French and Swiss borders, known for the mildest climate in Germany and an early, sustained push into solar power and green building that shaped its reputation. The economy runs on the university, research institutes, tourism and a growing environmental-technology sector rather than heavy industry.
