Well-known places in Freiburg: where can you smoke?

Landmark, park or shopping street: this is how we assess well-known places in Freiburg under § 5 KCanG – each with its own map extract.

Bubatzkarte Freiburg: cannabis no-consumption zones around Münsterplatz (cathedral square)

Münsterplatz (cathedral square)

At the centre of this extract on Münsterplatz consumption is likely tricky – according to our map data the Domsingschule lies only about 75 metres away.

Münsterplatz, wrapped around Freiburg Minster, is the city’s largest square, with the Historisches Kaufhaus on its south side and the Münstermarkt held every weekday morning. According to our map data the Domsingschule lies about 75 metres from the centre of this extract, which puts the centre inside its 100-metre radius; two playgrounds follow at about 205 and 226 metres, a sports area at 252. Our map also draws the square as a pedestrian area – where that applies, the 7 a.m.–8 p.m. ban comes on top.

Bubatzkarte Freiburg: cannabis no-consumption zones around Bertoldsbrunnen & Kaiser-Joseph-Straße

Bertoldsbrunnen & Kaiser-Joseph-Straße

Kaiser-Joseph-Straße is a pedestrian zone – so the 7 a.m.–8 p.m. ban is likely to apply during the day; according to our map data facility zones only start at about 150 metres.

Kaiser-Joseph-Straße, Bertoldstraße and Salzstraße meet at the Bertoldsbrunnen fountain – the heart of Freiburg’s city centre and a tram hub. The roughly 900-metre Kaiser-Joseph-Straße has been closed to car traffic since 1973 and, like Bertoldstraße, is drawn as a pedestrian zone on our map. Facility zones keep their distance: the Domsingschule lies at about 153 metres, another facility at 156, the Augustinerplatz playground at 241 and the Goethe-Gymnasium at 271.

Bubatzkarte Freiburg: cannabis no-consumption zones around Seepark & Flückigersee

Seepark & Flückigersee

Within about 200 metres of the centre of this extract on the Flückigersee our map draws no zone – beyond that a dense ring of sports areas begins.

The Seepark in Betzenhausen was created for the 1986 state garden show and covers about 35 hectares, roughly 10 of them taken up by the artificial Flückigersee. According to our map data there are 24 entries within 300 metres of the centre of this extract, but none closer than about 200 metres: mostly sports areas, among them the Seepark stadium and the Freisportanlage Seepark, plus the Wentzinger schools at about 273 metres. If you sit by the shore, check the map especially towards the sports grounds.

All assessments are based on our current map data and can change at any time – new facilities create new no-consumption zones. What counts is the situation on the ground; the live map above and the app always show the current data.

Common questions

Smoking weed in Freiburg: the rules

Where is cannabis consumption allowed in Freiburg?

Consumption is allowed in Freiburg anywhere no zone under Section 5 KCanG applies: more than 100 meters from the entrances of schools, playgrounds, daycare centers, youth facilities and sports grounds, outside pedestrian zones during the 7 a.m.–8 p.m. ban, and never in the immediate presence of minors. The map shows every zone in Freiburg at a glance.

Can you smoke weed in the Kaiser-Joseph-Straße pedestrian zone?

Kaiser-Joseph-Straße is one of the well-known pedestrian areas in Freiburg. Where a pedestrian zone is designated, the ban under § 5(2) no. 5 KCanG applies daily between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. – in the evening and at night consumption is generally allowed there, unless another no-consumption zone applies, such as a school or daycare within sight. Whether an individual stretch is actually designated a pedestrian zone can vary; the signage on the ground is what binds.

How many no-consumption zones does Freiburg have?

In central Freiburg alone, the Verbotszonen App tracks 1,421 facilities, each creating a no-consumption zone with a 100-meter radius – including 173 schools and 323 playgrounds. Across the whole city there are considerably more.

Can you smoke weed in Freiburg’s Seepark?

A park is not banned across the board under the KCanG, and around the Flückigersee our map draws no zone within about 200 metres of the centre of the extract. The zones come from the facilities at the edges: according to our map data these include numerous sports areas such as the Seepark stadium as well as the Wentzinger schools, each with a 100-metre radius around its entrance. And as everywhere: never in the immediate presence of minors.
