Donaueschingen

Donaueschingen straddles the Brigach in Baden-Württemberg, and its position close to the Breg confluence has tied the town’s identity to the start of the Danube. The two streams meet on the eastern side of town, forming the river that then crosses central and eastern Europe to the Black Sea. In the grounds of the princely Fürstenberg Palace, the Donauquelle spring has long been presented as a symbolic source of the Danube. Donaueschingen also has an important place in new music: the Donaueschinger Musiktage, founded in 1921, is among Europe’s leading festivals for contemporary music.
