The Freiburg Debating Club is a private debating club at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg . The first debates took place in 1998, making them one of the oldest debating clubs in Germany. The debating club was represented by four teams at the first German championships, including Marco Ragni and Manfred Kröber. At the beginning of 2004 he joined the umbrella organization VDCH . The club members, which up to now have been organized exclusively as a university group , strove to establish a registered association and so the Freiburg Debating Club was founded at the founding meeting on August 9, 2005 and, according to its statutes, is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting education, especially the art of speaking . In the tradition of the German debating clubs, it is primarily aimed at students, but is in fact open to all interested citizens.

In 2004, the Freiburg Debating Club made it into the finals of the Baden-Württemberg Championship in Heidelberg with Eike Hosemann and Arend von Reinersdorff as non-attached speakers . In 2005, with Eike Hosemann, Marco Ragni and Manfred Kröber, the Freiburg Debating Club won the German Championship in Munich. Eike Hosemann was also named the best final speaker. Only a year earlier he was named a young talent by the German Debate Society . In the same year, the debating club with Arend von Reinersdorff, Stefan Klingbeil and Marco Ragni won the title of Baden-Württemberg Master in Tübingen. In the following year, the Freiburg Debating Club again made it to the finals at the German Championships in Münster in 2006, and Eike Hosemann and Arend von Reinersdorff became German runners-up. In addition, Eike Hosemann made it to the finals of the DDG Masters' Cup at the Wartburg in Eisenach . In the same year, the debating club hosted the Baden-Württemberg championship itself. A special feature was the "Freiburg format" used at the tournament. This is an OPD format supplemented by a two-minute cross-examination of the other side . In 2007 Eike Hosemann and Sebastian Dumpert won the ZEIT Debate in Passau. Eike Hosemann won the "Best Speaker of the Tournament", "Audience Favorite" and "Best Speaker of the Debate" awards.

In 2008 Eike Hosemann was the first DDG young talent to win the Masters' Cup and thus the title of "Master of the Masters". In the Free Debating League , newly founded in 2010 , the Debating Club reached fifth place in the 2010/11 season and, with Zsolt Szilagyi, was one of the top 10 speakers of the 326 speakers who took part. The basis was, among other things, a tournament victory in Stuttgart by Zsolt Szilagyi and Friedemann Groth. In the 2011/12 season, the debating club again provided Zsolt Szilagyi, one of the top 10 speakers, and came ninth in the team. Freiburg reached two finals this season: Zsolt Szilagyi, Julian von Lautz and Johannes Samlenski finished second in Mainz ; Zsolt Szilagyi and Sebastian Hermesdorf finished third in the "Black Forest Cup" organized by the Debattierclub Freiburg itself.
