Donaueschingen

Donaueschingen is a town in the Black Forest-Baar district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, at the meeting of the Brigach and Breg, which form the Danube. From the 18th century it was the residence of the princes of Fürstenberg, whose palace park contains a spring regarded as the source of the Danube. The town has held a festival of contemporary music since 1921.
