Freiburg water stories (online slide show)

In cooperation with VISTAtour and the ARGE Freiburger Stadtbild - In the beginning was the water: This illustrated lecture on the traces of water in Freiburg is all about dykes, fountains, canals, streams and mysterious moors. You will learn exciting stories and little-known details about Freiburg's water: what were the Bächle used for, who built the industrial canals - and what is behind the Runzgenossenschaft? The progressive drinking water supply of the Middle Ages and the organization of the well system of the time are also discussed. You will find out why a dispute over drinking water in 1665 triggered a "small Weyber uprising" and why the Freiburg system was considered particularly modern. We will introduce you to a few selected wells and explain current water supply issues. - Registration required.
