The House as a Testimony of Time

The today's Documentation Center is located in the former traffic office from 1936, a historical building whose traces are still visible today. This is exactly where the tour begins: It opens your eyes to architectural details, the history of the place, and the connection between the building and Freiburg's NS history.

Local History That Stays with You

The DZNS presents the history of Freiburg on three levels and connects historical objects, digital media, interactive stations, and a former air raid shelter into a multifaceted exhibition. Four chronologically arranged time-spaces, a memorial room, and the engagement with persecution, resistance, and remembrance make the visit a cultural enrichment with depth.
