Everyone should attend this "after work party". The Historisches Kaufhaus, or Historical Merchants Hall, is a Late Gothic building on the south side of Freiburg's Münsterplatz. Constructed between 1520 and 1530, it was once the center of the financial life of the region. Its façade is decorated with statues and the coat of arms of four Hapsburg emperors.

Located in the heart of old town Historic store is one of the most impressive buildings in Freiburg: With its magnificent red facade and dominates the south side of the cathedral square.

Outstanding is the front of the store: its facade with the Erkertürmen and the sculptural decoration with life-size statues and coats of arms of the Habsburg period of Freiburg. The reliefs and statues reflect the good connection to the city to the Austrian government house. Impressive also are the stone arches and courtyard with direct access to the rooms. Upstairs is, facing the cathedral, the most important and largest of the four rooms: the Emperor's Hall with its Gothic arched windows.

A great venue for our colleagues to network and have fun in historic Freiburg. Food and beverage and entertainment will be provided.
