Beeder Tower

A church in Beeden is mentioned for the first time in 1212. The church consecrated to St. Remigius was the parish church for Homburg until 1299 and was under the patronage of the Wörschweiler monastery . The tower ruin known as the "Beeder Tower" comes from the early Gothic church tower that was built in the 14th century. It is the oldest building in the city of Homburg. In the 17th century the church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War .

Churches

The Protestant parish church of the architects Grün + Weber from Kaiserslautern was built in 1934/35 as a Saar Liberation Church. Like the construction of the Saardank Church in Rohrbach, the building was intended to give the Saarland's “homecoming” to the German Empire the “architectural expression” and was supported by Nazi-friendly church circles. Two frescoes in the chancel were whitewashed after the war during renovation work. In the style of Germanic hero myths, they represented larger than life a worker tearing his chains and a knight symbolizing Christ in medieval armor. The original name Saar Liberation Church was no longer used after 1945. Until the summer of 2012 it was called the Protestant Church of Beeden , since then the Protestant Church of Peace Beeden.

The Catholic St. Remigius Church was consecrated in 1955.

Recreation area and nature reserve

On the southern edge of the village, near the Blies, is the “Beeder Brünnchen” recreation area with several ponds, the “Beeder Brünnchen” spring, a viewing pavilion and fish ponds. For a while, Beeden could boast of housing the only storks in the Saarland. The stork's nest of the white stork pair living in the wild is located next to the fisherman's hut. In the summer months the rearing of the stork offspring can be observed.
