The Seeparkturm Freiburg marks the corner of Betzenhausen a visitor is most likely to aim for, and the rest of the quarter is apartment streets running out to the city boundary. Rooms are few here. Alt-Betzenhausen keeps the older settlement name and Betzenhausen-Bischofslinde the second half, so anyone wanting a choice of hotels books in central Freiburg im Breisgau instead.

About Betzenhausen
What are the main landmarks in Betzenhausen?
The Seeparkturm Freiburg is the tallest thing Betzenhausen has, a tower on the western side of Freiburg im Breisgau that gives the quarter its one recognisable outline. After the tower come three churches. Markuskirche and Heilige Familie serve Betzenhausen-Bischofslinde and the streets around it, and St. Albert completes a list that runs to parish buildings rather than museums.
What is the history of Betzenhausen?
Nobody set down a founding year for Betzenhausen. The quarter reaches the record already split in two, Alt-Betzenhausen keeping the old settlement name and Betzenhausen-Bischofslinde standing as the second of the statistical districts that make up this corner of Freiburg im Breisgau. Markuskirche and Heilige Familie carry the parish past that survives in building form.
Freiburg keeps the deeper chronology.
Where is Betzenhausen?
Just over two square kilometres of the west of Freiburg im Breisgau make up Betzenhausen, with the Seeparkturm Freiburg standing at one end.
