the south-west of the district, which became available for burials from all over the village. In 2007 a small part of it was sectioned off for a pet cemetery. One of the three civic amenity sites of Freiburg is located in Littenweiler, where citizens can dispose of waste of all kinds. Education The University of Education Freiburg grew out of the Teacher Training colleges I and II in 1962, trains teachers for primary and secondary school education and offers courses for graduate teachers. From modest beginnings, a remarkable campus has been built on Lindenmattenstraße. The Waldhof Academy for Further Education was founded in 1950 as a free establishment for adult education. Its educational opportunities included seminars and lectures on the themes of humanities and sciences, art, geography and ethnology, religion and philosophy, as well as musical and creative courses. The Reinhold Schneider School (primary and secondary school) had to vastly expand in the 1960s due to the huge population increase. It is named after the author Reinhold Schneider, who lived for many years in Freiburg. Thanks to the language school for foreign students supported by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese, students from other language regions have been enabled to learn the German language. Two large student dormitories, the Thomas More Hostel and the Alban Stolz House, strengthened the link between the district and the universities of the city. Sport On the Schwarzwaldstraße, in the neighbouring district of Waldsee, there is a series of major sports grounds belonging to the city of Freiburg. These are also important for Littenweiler and include: A lido – Freiburg’s largest open-air swimming pool with a slide of 91 metres in length, directly next to the Schwarzwald-Stadion Schwarzwald-Stadion (formerly Dreisam Stadium) – the football ground of SC Freiburg; a little distance away is the Möslestadion with the football academy (which is for SC Freiburg amateur footballers) Post-Turn- und Sportverein Jahn (PTSV Jahn), the Jahn gymnastics and sports club – grounds for popular sports FT 1844 Freiburg – the largest sports club in southern Baden which has sports facilities including an indoor swimming pool, roller skating rink, tennis courts etc. and a sports nursery and primary school Freiburg Tennis Club Sports facilities of the University of Freiburg, which are also used by the students of the Pädagogischen Hochschule (University of Education) References in Literature The still rural district of Littenweiler is the setting of Christoph Meckel’s autobiographical narrative,
