    Freiburg im Breisgau is in Germany. Fribourg is in Switzerland.

    • WP says:

      Actually, the city is called Freiburg in German, but since it has a majority French speaking population it is normally referred to as Fribourg. And as you allude to, this prevents confusion with Freiburg im Breisgau:-)

  • KMP says:

    Perhaps you meant “Fribourg”?

  • Swiss Miss says:

    Not sure Freiburg is in Switzerland!
