Its source is on the southern edge of the core town of Merchweiler, directly west of the Fischbachtalbahn, which largely accompanies the flowing water . The stream flows as a main waters in Fischbachtal in predominantly southsouthwest direction. First, he runs approximately along the eastern edge of the main location of the municipality Quierschied where cabbage and Lasbach open out, and after inflow of the timber Bach through the district Fischbach , where it will flow to the Dahl stream. After this, the Fischbach is first fed by the Netzbach and a little later by the Steinbach . From the built-up area of Rußhütte , a district of the independent city of Saarbrücken , the stream flows southwards until it finally flows into the Saar at the Saarbrücken public park a few meters west of the Westspange after leaving the Fischbachtalbahn .

Course of the Fischbach at the mouth in the course of history

In the 1860s, the Saarkohlenhafen was created in the area of ​​the mouth of the Fischbach from a Saar arch and the Saar straightened. From this time on, the Fischbach did not flow directly into the Saar, but into the harbor basin. When the Saarkohlenhafen was abandoned in the 1960s and the port basin was backfilled, the course of the Fischbach had to be extended by approx. 250 m in order to divert it back into the Saar.
