Where to stay in Haslach
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The four boroughs give Haslach four different addresses, and the practical difference between Haslach-Egerten, Haslach-Gartenstadt, Haslach-Schildacker and Haslach-Haid is mostly how far each sits from St. Michael. Beds are scarce in all four. Nothing here was laid out for visitors, and the reliable pattern is a room in central Freiburg im Breisgau with Haslach kept for the Morat-Institut and a quieter evening.

About Haslach
What are the main landmarks in Haslach?
Five entries stand on Haslach's list, and two of them share a single name: the Melanchtonkirche and the Melanchtonscheune, a church and a barn. St. Michael and St. Peter und Paul cover the saints. The Morat-Institut is the odd one out.
It is an institute rather than a church, and its presence gives a district of four boroughs something on the register that has nothing to do with parish life.
What is the history of Haslach?
Haslach entered Freiburg im Breisgau on 1 January 1890, and the incorporation date is the sharpest fact the district has. A later split changed the shape. Weingarten demerged from Haslach, leaving four boroughs behind: Haslach-Egerten, Haslach-Gartenstadt, Haslach-Schildacker and Haslach-Haid, which is how the district is counted.
The Melanchtonscheune keeps a farm word in its name, while St. Michael, St. Peter und Paul and the Melanchtonkirche mark the parish life of a district that has belonged to Freiburg im Breisgau since 1890.
Where is Haslach?
Three and a half square kilometres carry four boroughs: Haslach-Egerten, Haslach-Gartenstadt, Haslach-Schildacker and Haslach-Haid. The ground is well subdivided.
