The DFG Freiburg was established in 1972 (1972).^[4] Final year students take the French-German Baccalaureate, a diploma recognised by France as equivalent to the Baccalauréat, and by Germany as equivalent to the Abitur.^[5][6] For the final three years, students choose between literary, social, and natural science branches (L, ES and S) as is usual in French lycées.^[7]

In 2017, on the occasion of the Treaty of Rome's 60th anniversary, the school's student representatives published a pro-European opinion piece saying "don't mess with the European Union".^[8][9]

Amenities

The campus consists of an old building with an annex and a gym, a new building, a sports field, and a pavilion.^[10]:53 The old building was designed by Konrad Kuhn^[11][12]:68 and built in 1976. It stands on the former site of the municipal plant nursery, which moved to the Mundenhof in the west of Freiburg in the early 1970s.^[11]

The roofs of the old and new building are equipped with photovoltaic solar panels with a combined nominal power of 55 kW_p.^[13][14] The panels were erected by students and teachers,^[15] and belong to a registered association (e.V.) incorporated in 2002.^[16] The association also installed a small wind turbine on the new building.^[17][18]

The school offers rooms in its boarding school in Günterstal,^[2] which had 64 residents in 2017.^[10]:47 Around 100 students live across the French border in Alsace and attend school using a bus organised by parents.^[19]
