The Franco-German Garden is located in the southwest of Saarbrücken and is, with its 50 ha, one of the largest parks in the capital of the Saarland. It is open 24 hours a day and offers an interface between the French and German cultures.
The pond
The Deutschmühlen pond runs through the site and surprises with its water play and water organ during the day at every full hour. Around the water you can observe many species of birds like ducks, herons, geese and swans. In summer, it is possible to enjoy the view from the water on one of the pedal boats.
Theme gardens
The park is home to individual themed gardens: the Solar Heather, the Valley of Flowers, the Silver Maple Garden, the Rose Garden and the Valley of Honor.
Food and Beverage
There are a variety of cafes, restaurants offering simple cuisine, kiosks offering sweets and snacks.
Events
Various events are organized at the garden throughout the year.
Public guided tours are organized every 1st and 3rd Sunday from April to October.
Musical offerings include „Die Muschel rockt“, the SaarLorraine Symphony Orchestra, dance classes, strolling concerts or concerts on the occasion of the Music Festival.
Events for children are also organized throughout the year: Kinderfest, Halloween for children and school races. The German-French cultural festival „What’s New“, the days of the imagination and the Middle Ages, church services or prayers, the plant flea market and the learning festival show the diversity of the cultural offers.
Since 2021, the cozy Christmas garden has been held here every year on the first weekend of Advent. In addition to the 140 booths selling culinary and Christmas goodies, there are Christmas sounds from the stage on the water and from the band shell.
Beyond the events, it is always possible to take a little green break in the park. The long paths are also very popular with joggers and cyclists.
