Sight 3: Konzerthaus Freiburg
The Freiburg Konzerthaus is a concert hall in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, that was opened to the public in 1996. Based on plans by architect Dietrich Bangert, the building is used for concerts and performances, as well as conventions and meetings. Under the working title "Cultural Event and Conference Location", it was one of the most controversial building projects in Freiburg since the end of World War II. Until 2016, it served as the headquarters of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra. With its multiuse great hall, it serves as a venue for a range of diverse events.

Sight 5: Alte Synagoge
The Old Synagogue on the site of today's Old Synagogue in Freiburg im Breisgau was built in 1869/70 and destroyed in the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938. During construction work for the redesign of the square in 2016, remnants of the building's foundation were discovered, uncovered and documented in several places before it was partially removed and backfilled in order to build over it with a symbolic water basin. The fountain, known as the Place of Remembrance, corresponds in size and location to the floor plan of the destroyed synagogue and was opened to the public in 2017. With regard to its design and use, the memorial fountain is still the subject of controversy today.
Sight 6: Universitätskirche
The University Church, or Universitätskirche, is a Catholic church at the University of Freiburg. Located on Bertoldstrasse amongst the university buildings, the former Jesuit church (Jesuitenkirche) has been part of the university since the 18th Century.
