History to Touch in the Heart of the City
The National Socialism Documentation Center has been located in the former traffic office from 1936 since 2025 and tells the city's history from 1918 to the present across three levels. Four chronologically arranged time periods, historical objects, digital media, and a former air raid shelter make the local history tangible and create an intense discovery experience.

The exhibition combines historical context with personal perspectives: A memorial room remembers persecuted and murdered individuals from Freiburg and the region.
