Kirchzarten (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪʁçˌtsaʁtn̩]) is a municipality in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in the federal-state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany.
A Zionist agricultural training farm was founded in Kirchzarten in 1919 to prepare young people to become farmers in Mandatory Palestine [Eretz Israel].
The Kirchzarten synagogue had a set of Jugendstil windows by artist Friedrich Adler, who made a duplicate set now in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
