Augustinermuseum

In the middle of Freiburg's Old Town you will find the largest museum of South Baden, the "Augustiner-museum". The former cloistral building of the "Augustiner-Eremiten" with its Gothic cloister and its high church room creates an impressive atmosphere. With its valuable collection of art and culture of the Upper Rhine area, reaching from the mediaeval times to the 20th century, the Augustinermuseum is of national importance. Due to some constructional work, part of the museum is closed at the moment, but most of the collections are nevertheless accessible.

Fondation Beylerle

The Galerie Beyeler's success story began over fifty years ago. It mirrors the life of Ernst Beyeler, who was born in Basle in 1921. After leaving school, he attended university lectures in both art history and economics, while simultaneously working in an antiquarian book and print shop which he carried on after the death of the owner in 1945. Just two years later, the gallery staged its first exhibition, which was soon followed by others. Thanks to his excellent negotiating skills and his readiness to take risks, Ernst Beyeler was able to make major acquisitions from the Thompson Collection, including works by artists such as Klee, Cézanne, Monet, Matisse and Giacometti. Ernst Beyeler also had the good fortune to get to know Pablo Picasso personally, as a result of which he was able to select various works from among those in the artist's possession. In parallel to their activities as gallery owners, Ernst and Hildy Beyeler built up a private collection of works that they liked so much they wanted to keep them. Since 1997 the Beyeler Collection has been housed in the Fondation Beyeler, a public museum designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano that is located in Riehen on the outskirts of Basle.

Schauinsland Mining Museum

The approximately 100 kilometre long mine, divided into 22 layers created in Schauinsland in 800 years of searching for silver, lead and zinc is the largest of the Black Forest and the Vosges. It features all the typical mining periods of metal ore mining and is therefore of particular cultural-historical value. In the mine itself, the entire spectrum of ore mining can be viewed and also experienced, beginning with the scarcely man-high, tunnels, laboriously chiselled out by hand, through to the huge 20th century mining cavities created by blasting with dynamite. Since 1976, the Steiber research group has invested over 200,000 working hours exclusively with private means and a great deal of commitment. All the mining work is carried out autonomously. In addition to mechanical shovel loaders and mining engines, modern drilling jumbos and power-driven shovel loaders are used. The main part of the Schauinsland mine has thereby been made reaccessible. Through the discoveries made, it has become a cultural asset under monumental protection. It is a museum of a new kind with the aim of conveying history at the site of occurrence. Further research work is also currently being conducted.
