Cultural Break at the Augustinermuseum: Discover Freiburg's Borders Anew
On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the Augustinermuseum invites you to a short tour Cultural Break: Making Borders Visible. In 30 inspiring minutes, the Korntawer plan from 1608 takes center stage – an extraordinary work that shows Freiburg in its historical boundaries and thus makes city history tangible.
A Look at Freiburg in 1608
The tour with exhibition curator Carola Freund offers a compact yet impressive access to the history of the city. The monumental plan by Job Korntawer measures 230 by 458 centimeters and makes visible how Freiburg once defined itself spatially.

The audience mood is likely to be calm, attentive, and curious – ideal for all who appreciate culture, history, and precise communication.
