Die Universität in Freiburg ist sehr bekannt.

The article title was a phrase that I had to transcribe while doing one of the lessons on Duolingo. “Die Universität in Freiburg ist sehr bekannt” is translated as, “the university in Freiburg is very well-known”.

Germany restricts “Google Maps Streetview” due to privacy issues, but some areas, including Berlin have allowed Streetview to record much of the city. Freiburg is not one of those German cities/towns that allow it, so I happened to find “Elbe Obst” (Elbe, the river and Obst – fruit), a company headquartered in Freiburg. *I haven’t looked for the famous university yet.

But the Elbe Obst web site has been very informative and entertaining. The site includes videos, about apple production, and has extensive apple recipes which reminded me of how useful food/cooking/recipes/ingredients are in learning a language… and this web site is written relatively simply so that I understand much of the text/content without having to “look up a bunch of stuff.”

Frank Döscher is managing director of the German company Elbe-Obst.

Fräulein a new variety of apple in Germany which apparently is both sweet and juicy.


So, knowing where Freiburg University is located would help. Needless to say, the University is NOT in Freiburg, Germany. However it is located a great distance away in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. And by now, I am not really interested in pursuing the University.
