Where to stay in Dudweiler
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Dudweiler is a working borough. Hotel supply is thin here compared with central Saarbrücken, and the case for staying in Dudweiler comes down to space and quiet rather than to nightlife or sights. Eleven square kilometres leave room.
Anyone driving in finds the borough easier than the city core, and the Kreuzkirche end keeps the closest thing Dudweiler has to a centre.

About Dudweiler
What are the main landmarks in Dudweiler?
Dudweiler counts its churches. The Kreuzkirche, the Christuskirche and the Heilig-Geist-Kirche stand within the same borough, three separate dedications for a district that has spread across some eleven square kilometres of Saarbrücken. A fourth stands apart from those three.
That is St. Bonifatius. All four sit inside a borough that Saarbrücken absorbed rather than built.
What is the history of Dudweiler?
Dudweiler is old. A chapel here appears in documents of the German Emperor Otto II in 977, under the name Duodonisvillare, which fixes the earliest written date the district can claim. Dudweiler is what that name became.
Saarbrücken took the borough in much later, and the churches standing here belong to centuries well beyond that first chapel on the Sulzbach.
Where is Dudweiler?
The Sulzbach runs through it. Dudweiler covers some eleven square kilometres of Saarbrücken, and the Sulzbach threads through the older part of it.
