Germany Freiburger Münster / Freiburg Minster

Freiburg's monument the Freiburger Münster (Freiburg Minster) is the only Gothic church tower in Germany that was completed in the Middle Ages (1330), and miraculously, has lasted until the present, surviving the bombing raids of November 1944, which destroyed all of the houses on the west and north side of the market. The tower was subject to severe vibration at the time, and its survival of these vibrations is attributed to its lead anchors, which connect the sections of the spire. The windows had been taken out of the spire at the time by church staff led by Monsignor Max Fauler, and so these also suffered no damage.

The Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt once said that the church's 116-meter tower will forever remain the most beautiful spire on earth.

Be quiet inside and you should check out the view from above. It is possible to climb up the narrow stairs.

It's probably the most visible building in Freiburg City. There many parking possibilities around the city. Close garages for example are Schlossberg garage or Karlsbau.
