THE HEART OF THE BUILDING: THE KAISERSAAL
The name Kaisersaal, or ‘Emperor’s Hall’, is perfectly accurate. After all, the hall is not only the largest and grandest room in the building, but has also played host to real emperors and royalty. Because of its size and elegance, the function of the Kaisersaal changed during the 19th century. Once an imperial room for receiving guests where lavish banquets would be held, it began to be used more and more frequently as an impressive meeting room. Up until the Second World War, the citizens’ committee of Freiburg would meet between the mighty oak columns that support the historic plasterwork ceiling. And the Baden state parliament used the dignified Kaisersaal for the exchange of weighty arguments up until the 1950s. The whole room radiates historical significance and is the perfect option for events of high status. Convince yourself virtually of the historical ambience of the Kaisersaal.
