Saarbrücken General Tips by Urzu

Favorite Thing: As its own name explains, Saarbrücken is filled with bridges that cross the river, and many of these are worth taking a look at! There are brigdes from many different styles, and of course you can get a lovely view of the city from many of them. What's also nice is the Saar "crane", which you can find at the Wilhelm-Heinrich-Brücke. This crane is a homage to Saarbrücken's trade history. It was first built in the 18th century, but as many other monuments of the city it was destroyed many times over the years. The final reconstruction of the crane took place in 1991.
Also something really nice is to stroll along the Saar river, especially around the City theatre area... when I was living there there you would often find people sunbathing by the river sides... nice!

Favorite Thing: Saabrücken is definitely a city of churches. They have all sizes and shapes, and you'll even find them when you least expect it! I remember talking to my German teacher while living in SB, and he told me that from his appartment who could actually see 9 church towers, which is quite nice if you ask me! In any case I haven't been able to find information on all of them, sadly. One of my favourite churches in SB was St. Michael, situated in the Nauwieserviertel. What I liked most about it was it's very unusual shape and inside!
