history

The name Schafbrücke goes back to a bridge leading over the Rohrbach, where shepherds from Eschberg washed their sheep in the spring before shearing . Near the bridge was the bridge mill, whose owner had operated an armory and armor grinder before 1580 . In 1752/1753 the mayor of Saarlouis, Pierre Gouvy , built an ironworks with a steel hammer near Schafbrücke . The Gouvy plant, which comes from the Liège area, is named after his home village of Stahlhammer Goffontaine and the developing settlement . The factory ceased operations after 1870; In 1915 the settlement belonging to Scheidt was named Stahlhammer . Other parts of today's district belonged to Bischmisheim until 1960 . A brick factory was operated in this part between 1734 and 1875 ; before 1760 the Grumbacher Mühle was built, from which a sawmill developed in the 19th century. In the course of industrialization, other businesses settled there; as a result, houses were built for the workers. The main focus of the settlement activity was initially the Kaiserstraße, later also the connecting roads to Brebach and Bischmisheim.

In 1951/1952 today's Catholic parish church of St. Theresa was built; In 1957 a Protestant church followed. The formation of independent parishes, as well as the emergence of clubs and schools, contributed to the desire of the population to combine the settlements that had grown together into one parish. In 1960 the community of Schafbrücke was formed as the last community in what is now Saarbrücken's urban area; it originated from parts of the communities of Bischmisheim (Schafbrücke), Scheidt (Neuscheidt, Stahlhammer) and Brebach. Schafbrücke was incorporated into Saarbrücken on January 1st, 1974 as part of the regional and administrative reform in Saarland . The Saarbasar shopping center has been located on the border with Eschberg since 1979 .

On December 31, 2009, Schafbrücke had 2944 residents; In 2008 the district had an area of ​​200 hectares, 51.3 percent of which was forest.
