The Gasthof "Zum Deutsches Haus" dates back to the 13th century. On the Sickinger plan, an old city map of Freiburg from 1549, the place is marked by an arrow and is easily located. The present building dates back to 1779.
The German House was recently included on the list of Baden's historic inns. The Bächle (brooklet) marked on the old plan running in front is still there.

Congratulations on an award well deserved.
Mind you, the Haus serves the best beer in town straight from the cask. Why? It's a slow beer. You don't just fill the glass but rather take your time, i.e., at least five minutes, so that a fine white persistent head may slowly build up. Although my American friends always like their beer too cold here in Freiburg at the Deutsches Haus, the draft beer is served at the ideal temperature.
