Zähringen (Freiburg)
Zähringen is the northernmost suburb of Freiburg im Breisgau in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its population is 9,196 (2020). History On September 30, 1008 Henry II issued a deed of donation with which he ceded his exclusive hunting rights (hunting privilege) in the Breisgau forests to the bishop of Basel. Although the village must already have existed for quite some time, this is the first official document in which it is mentioned. On January 1, 1906 Zähringen was incorporated into Freiburg. Reutebach Reutebach is one of the names of the stream running through Zähringen. The word beginning ''Reute'' refers to cleared or deforested land and the ending ''Bach'' means ''stream''. Other names of this stream are Altbach (old stream) and Dorfbach (village stream). Reutebach was also the name of a former village which seems to have been larger than Zähringen, as its church was the parish church for the villages Gundelfingen, Heuweiler, Wildtal and Zähringen.ZähringenHistory/ref> ...

House Of Zähringen
The House of Zähringen (german: Zähringer) was a dynasty of Swabian nobility. The family's name derived from Zähringen Castle near Freiburg im Breisgau. The Zähringer in the 12th century used the title of Duke of Zähringen, in compensation for having conceded the title of Duke of Swabia to the Staufer in 1098. The Zähringer were granted the special title of Rector of Burgundy in 1127, and they continued to use both titles until the extinction of the ducal line in 1218. The territories and fiefs held by the Zähringer were known as the 'Duchy of Zähringen' (), but it was not seen as a duchy in equal standing with the old stem duchies. The Zähringer attempted to expand their territories in Swabia and Burgundy into a fully recognized duchy, but their expansion was halted in the 1130s due to their feud with the Welfs. Pursuing their territorial ambitions, the Zähringer founded numerous cities and monasteries on either side of the Black Forest, as well as in the western S ...
