The Freudenstadt district (also known as Landkreis Freudenstadt in German) is a special area in the middle of Baden-Württemberg, a state in Germany. Think of a district as a local government area, a bit like a county. It's where many towns and villages come together.

This district is surrounded by other districts like Rastatt, Calw, Tübingen, Zollernalbkreis, Rottweil, and the Ortenaukreis. The main town and capital of the Freudenstadt district is Freudenstadt.

The district is located right in the heart of the Black Forest mountains, which are famous for their beautiful scenery and dark, dense forests. The Neckar river also flows through the southeastern part of the district, adding to its natural beauty.
