Saarbrücken

　　Saarbrücken is a city you can’t help but fall in love with, with its vibrant cultural landscape, Baroque architecture, French-style charm, and the Saar lifestyle. It is also the capital of the state of Saarland, a university city, an economic hub, and a destination for trade fairs.

　　As the capital of Germany’s Saarland state, Saarbrücken lies at the heart of three federal states and is a peaceful, laid-back, and joyful city. With a history spanning 1,000 years and having endured dramatic historical events, the Baroque buildings designed by master architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel—such as the Saarbrücken Castle and the Castle Square—radiate the brilliance of the 18th century. From the Castle, one can easily see that this beautiful city still bears the distinct imprint of architect Stengel. Ludwigskirche is Stengel’s masterpiece and one of Germany’s most authentic and beautiful Protestant Baroque churches. Other notable landmarks include the neo-Gothic Rathaus (City Hall) and the Basilica Minor of St. John.

　　Saarbrücken enjoys a rich cultural life, with its cinema and theater scenes embracing cutting-edge trends, the latest art, and the most influential creativity. The city also hosts a diverse array of urban festivals, rural fairs, and surrounding celebrations.
