A very beautiful place on earth: one friend who lives there enjoys road biking in the surrounding mountains. Another friend does cross-country skiing in his lunch break (in winter times).
I can totally see that. I imagine it's great for hiking and food. But if/when this company has an issue you'll have to move again or start working at the local Sparkasse or something.
I live nearby, its an amazing area, one of the sunniest in Germany with perfect landscape. Not sure about the talent pool though but there is a university.
You are completely ignorant. This is one of the best places to live and work on earth. Nonetheless, they also have positions in San Francisco for what is worth.

Freiburg University is pretty well known isn't it?
Hiring in university towns is a pretty standard practice for startups outside SF.
I think these days not being in the US is a plus for many potential hires.
there's a reason people call it Flyburg im Nicegau.
Why Fly?
Being "fly" is slang for being cool. It has been officially chosen as German youth word of the year in 2016 [0].

I'm sure it's a great place to live and work, but can you please edit out swipes from your comments here, as the site guidelines ask (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)?
Your post would have been just fine without that first bit.
