Discover Freiburg's Revolutionary History at the Augustinermuseum
On Friday, November 6, 2026, exhibition curator Carola Freund will guide through the exhibition on Freiburg's city history and the Baden Revolution of 1848/49. The one-hour curator's tour combines historical context with a direct look at selected exhibits in the newly designed Augustinermuseum.
Experience history through selected exhibits
The focus is on the tumultuous years of the Baden Revolution and its significance for Freiburg. The tour vividly illustrates political upheavals, societal tensions, and local history through concrete museum objects. Thus, the cultural heritage of the city is not only explained but experienced as history you can touch.
How does a museum tell history?
The curator's tour also looks at the exhibition design. Together with Carola Freund, participants will discuss how exhibition architecture, spatial effects, and staging convey historical content. Balconies, galleries, walkways, and historical rooms of the former Augustinian monastery create a special atmosphere between architecture and memory.
Insights into Freiburg's City History
The Augustinermuseum is one of the significant cultural venues in Freiburg and presents art and cultural history from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. In the city history exhibition area, historical evidence leads to the development of the city and the political movements of the 19th century. The tour thus offers a concentrated discovery experience for culture-interested visitors to Freiburg.

Additionally, a museum admission fee of 12 euros, reduced 8 euros, is required. Event and admission tickets are available in the online shop and at the museum ticket office.
Conclusion: A compact city tour through the history of revolution
