When I lived in Freiburg, Germany, I started a free walking tour company, and the Martinstor was my favorite building. It was built in 1200AD, one of four gates protecting the medieval city. Only two remain, as the others were demolished to make way for automobiles. Martinstor was spared, but it did undergo some changes - it was made larger to accommodate traffic. My favorite story though, is this: there is a blank space on the front (seen at the very bottom of this picture). There used to be a painting of St. Martin of Tours, France there, but in the 1960's it was taken down, to be replaced with something more reflective of today's German Freiburg. But nearly 50 years later, it hasn't been decided what should go in its spot, so it's still a blank space! German bureaucracy at its finest. #architecture

"Great location and price!"

FourSide Hotel Ringsheim, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay has been perfect. The room was perfectly clean, nicely designed and enough spacious. The bed was comfy with two nice pillows each to accomodate different preferences. The bathroom has towel heater. The gym at the ground floor is well set up, The location is great, very convenient with a gas station close by, close to the highway and still very quiet. The breakfast is nice, maybe a little bit pricey. All in all, i think it’s an excellent option when visiting the christmas markets. "
