SC Freiburg

Background

Sport-Club Freiburg can trace its history back to 1904 when two sporting clubs were set up in the town. After a number of name changes these clubs merged in 1906 to form Sportclub Freiburg. This club then spent most of the next 40 years playing in lower leagues.

Despite being a relatively small organisation, determination and strong team spirit eventually enabled Freiburg to break into the 2 Bundesliga in 1979. Promotion to the Bundesliga eventually came 15 years later.

From then until today Freiburg has been one of Germany’s ‘elevator’ clubs, moving regularly between the top two divisions. The club ended the 2015/16 season as 2 Bundesliga champions, earning another return to the top tier.

Interesting fact : German team coach Joachim Löw began his career at Freiburg and had two subsequent spells here. He made 252 appearances and is still the club’s top goal scorer.

Wander round the old town.

Freiburg is a beautiful and historic town. You could have a great time here simply wandering through the old town (Altstadt), looking at the beautifully maintained old buildings, stopping for a drink at one of the many cafes or pubs.
