The Duewag GT8 Typ Freiburg is a three-part eight-axle articulated tram used on Freiburg im Breisgau's tram network. From 1971 to 1991, these trams were exclusively produced for the Freiburger Verkehrs by the Düsseldorfer Waggonfabrik in three series, which is why they are defined as the Freiburg type, Typ Freiburg. They are designed to be used uni-directionally.
