The completion should now be announced promptly.
Following the loan, Brentford are said to have a purchase obligation of more than €20m if Schade reaches a certain number of appearances.
Brentford and other Premier League clubs were already interested in Schade in the summer.
Those responsible in Freiburg were initially able to persuade the U21 international to stay.
He missed seven competitive games this season due to an abdominal muscle injury.
He then came mainly from the bank.
In all, he scored once in 12 games.
In Brentford, Schade would meet German midfielder Vitaly Janelt.
The »Bees« are in ninth place in the league.

+++ RUMOR +++
Kruse sees the future in the USA
Soccer player Max Kruse, who is currently without a club, has confirmed his desire to emigrate to the United States.
"I don't know if it's forever, but I love America as a country, I love the mentality," said the 34-year-old former international in a video interview with the Leeroy Matata YouTube account.
»My English is actually quite good, very good.
I can communicate, it has gotten better over the years,” Kruse added.
The attacking player has long been linked with a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in North America as his 11-year-old son lives in Florida.
»If you're in America every year, sometimes for six weeks.
At some point you just learn it,” said Kruse.
His wife, Dilara Kruse, said in the video that she loves her current place of residence in Berlin and does not want to emigrate to the United States.
It is therefore conceivable for Kruse to live in both places.
The attacker had mutually terminated the contract with his former club, Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg, in November.
