About the club
Sport-Club Freiburg is a small-city club in the far south-western corner of Germany, between the Rhine plain and the first slopes of the Black Forest - closer to France and Switzerland than to any German metropolis, and an hour by train from Basel. The club counts its years from 1904 and took the name Sport-Club Freiburg in 1912, when two local sides merged, but it only reached the Bundesliga in 1993, under Volker Finke, who sat on the bench for sixteen years, from 1991 to 2007. What grew from there is the opposite of big money: a football school opened in September 2001, players promoted rather than bought, and coaches who stay - Christian Streich ran the first team from December 2011 to 2024, 347 Bundesliga games, having joined the club back in 1995. The attacking football of the mid-1990s earned the nickname Breisgau Brazilians, and in May 2026 Freiburg played the first European final in its history.
The ground is not tucked into a neighbourhood. It sits on the north-western edge of the city, beside the trade fair halls and Freiburg's small airfield, about three kilometres from the main station: flat, open land with no pub street anywhere near it. So the day starts in the old town, around the minster and the market, and the whole crowd travels out together - on match day the ticket doubles as free travel on local public transport. At the end of the line comes a ten-minute walk to a rectangular box 25 metres high, wrapped in diagonal supports, with 3,700 bicycle parking spaces alongside it - a number that tells you at once which German city you are in.
The stadium
The Europa-Park Stadion opened on 7 October 2021, replacing the Dreisamstadion, Freiburg's home since 1954. It holds 34,700 - 22,300 seats and 12,400 standing places - and is built as a continuous two-tier bowl, except behind the south goal: that stand is the only single-tier one, up to 8,000 standing places, and it is where the ultras and the singing live. Some 6,200 solar modules cover around 15,000 square metres of the roof, about 2.4 megawatts, enough to generate in a year roughly all the electricity the stadium uses. You reach it on Stadtbahn line 4 towards Messe to the Europa-Park Stadion stop and about ten minutes on foot, or on the regional train from the main station to Messe/Universität, a three-minute ride and the same walk.

Things to do in Freiburg
Freiburg Minster and the Münstermarkt
The minster tower rises to 116 metres and was finished around 1330, the only great Gothic spire in Germany completed in the Middle Ages; the raid of November 1944 flattened the houses on the north and west sides of the square and left it standing. Every morning from Monday to Saturday the Münstermarkt spreads out beneath it, and the stalls sell the lange Rote - a long sausage in a baguette with fried onions.
The Bächle and the city gates
Small water channels have run along the pavements of the old town since the thirteenth century, a network some sixteen kilometres long, and local lore says whoever steps into one by accident will marry a Freiburger. Two of the five city gates survive, the Martinstor and the Schwabentor, both thirteenth-century, and the tram still runs through the arch of the Martinstor.
The Schlossberg and its lookout tower
A short funicular climbs from the Stadtgarten up the Schlossberg in about three minutes, with no fixed timetable - you step in and set it off yourself. From the top a walk brings you to a 35-metre lookout tower built in 2002, 153 steps, with a view over the city, the Rhine plain and the ridges of the Black Forest.
The Schauinslandbahn
A 3.6-kilometre cable car, opened in July 1930 as the world's first continuously circulating large-cabin passenger ropeway, climbs from Horben in twenty minutes, 746 metres of ascent, to just under the 1,284-metre Schauinsland summit. Walking routes into the Black Forest begin at the top.
Hausbrauerei Feierling
A small brewery on Gerberau in the old town, carrying on a family business founded in 1877 that closed in 1981; in its present form it has been running since 1989. The beer is brewed on the premises, and beside the house a large beer garden sits under old chestnut trees.
Worth knowing
- The stadium exists because the city voted for it: on 1 February 2015, 58.2 per cent of Freiburg's voters approved building it on the Wolfswinkel site.
- In 1995 a photovoltaic array went up on the roof of the old ground's new south stand, the first on a stadium roof in Germany; the current roof carries around 6,200 modules.
- Two managers covered almost three decades: Volker Finke from 1991 to 2007, sixteen years that are still the longest spell any coach has had in German professional football, and Christian Streich from December 2011 to 2024 - 347 Bundesliga matches, a club record.
- The club's first European final came on 20 May 2026 in Istanbul, where Freiburg lost 3-0 to Aston Villa; four years earlier they had lost the German Cup final to RB Leipzig on penalties.
Tips for the travelling fan
- 01On match day the ticket also works as a free return journey on public transport across the Freiburg region, so there is no reason to drive: the roughly 2,100 stadium parking spaces are sold in advance through the online ticket shop only, and nothing is sold at the ground itself. Take the Stadtbahn towards Messe - line 4 and the extra match-day services - to the Europa-Park Stadion stop, or the regional train to Messe/Universität. Don't rush afterwards: the extra services keep running for about two and a half hours after the final whistle.
- 02The gates open two hours before kick-off. Only waist bags and bags up to A3 size are allowed in; anything larger has to go into a small paid drop-off point with very limited space, so leave big bags at the hotel or in a locker at the station. At the food stands you can pay in cash, by card, and with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- 03The noise comes from the south stand behind the goal, the only single-tier stand: up to 8,000 standing places, and where the ultras stand. Away fans, up to about 3,500 of them, get the north-east corner - standing places in the lower tier and seats in the upper - with their own separate entrance. Freiburg may be one of the sunniest and warmest corners of Germany, but the ground stands open at the edge of the Rhine plain - bring an extra layer for winter evening kick-offs.
