The Breisgau (German pronunciation: [ˈbʁaɪ̯sɡaʊ̯] ) is an area in southwest Germany extending along the Rhine River and enveloping portions of the Black Forest.[1] Part of the state of Baden-Württemberg, it centers on the city of Freiburg im Breisgau. The district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, which partly consists of the Breisgau, is named after the Black Forest area. Parts of the Breisgau are also situated in the political districts of Freiburg im Breisgau and Emmendingen.
