St. Johanner Markt

Get a taste of local life at the city's most popular gathering venue, and take a stroll in the narrow alleyways along the myriad cafés and restaurants. The fountain in the middle of the square was designed by F. J. Stengel, and together with Ludwig's Church and the Castle, it forms what is called the Stengel triangle. You'll also find Fröschengasse here, formerly a workers' district with Baroque-style houses.

Shopping

Cobblestone alleyways with charming boutiques and shopping malls with well-known international brands: Saarbrücken has something for every taste and budget.
