Sexau: Schwabentor - Freiburg Cathedral - Schlossberg
Freiburg Cathedral occupies the historic centre of Freiburg im Breisgau, at the western foot of the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg. Its 116-metre west tower, begun in the 13th century, is one of the city’s defining Gothic monuments; the cathedral remains at the heart of the Münsterplatz market square. Immediately east, the wooded Schlossberg rises above the old town, a former fortified hill with paths and terraces. The Schwabentor, a medieval gateway on the eastern edge of the centre, recalls Freiburg’s walled past. Together these landmarks define a city known for its medieval core, university life and close relationship with the Black Forest.

Sexau sits on the Brettenbach at the western foot of the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, where wooded uplands give way to the Upper Rhine Plain. The municipality is part of the Emmendingen district and lies northeast of Freiburg im Breisgau, in a region shaped by farming, orchards and the wine traditions of Baden. Fields and vineyards occupy the gentler ground around the settlement, while the terrain climbs quickly towards forested Black Forest slopes. Sexau’s Protestant parish church remains a focal point of its village centre, reflecting the settled rural character of Breisgau.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
