Bees manager Thomas Frank is still keen to bolster his ranks and the move could be announced as early as Wednesday.
It is understood the transfer will become permanent if certain clauses in the 21-year-old's deal are met.
Germany Under-21 international Schade can fill a variety of attacking roles and will provide support for Ivan Toney.
Although fears Toney would be ruled out for a number of weeks with a knee injury he sustained at West Ham on 30 December, the striker's short-term future remains uncertain as he is facing an FA charge of 262 breaches of betting rules.
Schade made his first team debut for Freiburg in August 2021 and has scored four goals in 21 appearances for the Bundesliga side.
Brentford are ninth in the Premier League table after beating Liverpool 3-1 at the Community Stadium on Monday.
