The Staden is a recreation area in Saarbrücken - St. Johann on the right bank of the Saar . The park-like grounds with lawns, paths, playgrounds and the beer garden at Ulanenpavillon between the Bismarckbrücke and cogeneration Roman Bridge and was built in the 1908th The historic elements of the city such as the embankment wall, the baluster parapet, the stairs and pavilions by the architect Heinrich Güth as well as the park-like design are under monument protection . East of the city there is an oxbow arm of the Saar. The name is derived from the word Gestade ( Ufer / Schiffslände ), which is less and less used in everyday language today.

view
From the Staden you have a view of the A 620 city motorway on the other bank of the Saar, which causes noise. Below this expressway, a 450-meter-long graffiti area was legalized on the concrete wall between the motorway and the towpath , which bears the name 4560 and is considered one of the largest contiguous legal spray areas in Germany. It was painted by internationally known artists at meetings (2002, 2005 and 2017).
