Pan.Optikum is a Theatre Company with a difference; you cannot just sit down and watch giant street theatre because it happens all around you. You look in one direction and the actors are coming towards you on huge platforms, then suddenly you hear a voice behind you and another actor is climbing a back-lit scaffold structure. All this happens as an amazing emotionally stirring soundtrack plays around you.
Their productions include pyrotechnics, singing, cantilevers, acrobatics, lights, silhouettes, music, video and dual language performances; a sensory experience that cannot be matched.
See them in their home country, Germany, or catch them on tour. But see them you must!

The crash is the grooviest nightclub in Freiburg. Well, it is not... It's a heavy metal venue near the main train station where you can headbang your balls off. For those of you preferring chemicals to German brew the tiny but popular Drifters club is just upstairs. You'll have fun, either way...

The most beautiful interesting chocolates - the shop is run by the most helpful woman who speaks several languages and seems to want you to be happy more than she wants to make money.
