Freundlich is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies midway between Trumpler crater to the north-northwest and the irregular Buys-Ballot crater to the south-southeast. This crater has a circular rim that is more heavily eroded at the northern and southern ends. Groups of craters lie across the floor to the southeast and the north, and individual small craters lie elsewhere within the interior. The crater is named after Erwin Freundlich ref: [http://www.lunardevcorp.com/catalog/crater_f.shtml]
