Address and directions

Visitor address and access

The main entrance is by the information and advice centre; further access points serve the north entrance and the ceremony-hall areas.

Use that access information as the starting point for Saarbrücken Main Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.

Public transport

Bus routes 123 and 126 serve Habsterdick by the new hall; routes 109 and 123 serve the Metzer Straße/old hall area. Check current departures before travelling.

For a public-transport journey to Saarbrücken Main Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Am Hauptfriedhof 21, 66117 Saarbrücken and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.

Parking

Parking is available near several entrances. Driving onto the cemetery grounds requires a paid permit for visitors aged 75 or over or with restricted mobility, and separate access hours apply.

The parking note for Saarbrücken Main Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask City of Saarbrücken · Parks and Cemeteries Department which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
