the German Order (cross) and the count of Sickingen (silver bullets). Transport The district has very good transport connections. Because of the Eastern part of the B 31, which mainly runs through a tunnel under Littenweiler, the congestion was reduced and simultaneously created a fast connection to the city centre and the Black Forest with its exit at the Eastern outskirts. The main connection to the city centre is the Hansjakobstraße on which the tramline runs as well. Additionally, the Höllentalbahn (Black Forest) approaches the station Freiburg-Littenweiler every half hour and coming from the central station traverses the whole Höllental up to Titisee-Neustadt thus being the most important public transport for commuters, tourists and winter sportsmen in the region. The terminal station of tram line 1 in Freiburg, the highest frequented line of the Freiburger Verkehrs AG, links Littenweiler to the network of the local public transport. At the tram's endpoint, bus lines operate to the districts Ebnet and Kappel. Infrastructure Especially with the newly built shopping centre "ZO" (Zentrum Oberwiehre) new shopping possibilities were given to the citizens of Littenweiler. Although it lies outside Littenweiler in the nearby district Oberwiehre, it can be reached easily by the Hansjakobstraße and with the tram line 1. Relatively few shops are located in Littenweiler, there is only a small centre nearby the tram's terminal station "Lassbergstraße" and near the border of the neighbouring district Waldsee. The proper village centre around the former church, the former town hall and the schoolhouse of the Reinhold Schneider school is widely freed from transit traffic today. The Catholic church St. Barbara, a new building from the 1960s, is located in the district next to the old church in the village centre, which is used as village hall nowadays, and the Evangelical Ascension church, a modern concrete building with a characteristic bell tower. On the southern edge of the district lies the "Waldhof", an independent institution of the free adult education and professional development. The St. Anthony retirement home in Freiburg-Littenweiler is supervised by the Franciscan nuns of Gengenbach. It is a stationary care facility in a former spa and bathhouse, which was built around 1844 near a healing mineral spring. A separate, small, today seldom used, local cemetery indicates a history of the district as a former independent village. During the 1960s, the new "Bergäcker" cemetery was built on the area south of the Höllentalbahn in
