The Saarbrücken City Archive is the archive of the Saarland state capital Saarbrücken .
history
The beginnings of the city archive can be traced back to the 16th century. For a long time the archive material was kept in a wooden drawer in what was then the town hall . From 1909 they moved into a floor in the St. Johann town hall . From the beginning of the 1980s, the archive was housed in the basement of the music school Nauwieserstraße 3 in the Nauwieser Viertel . In 2010, due to a lack of space, they moved to the listed former Deutschherrnschule in old Saarbrücken .
The city archive
The archive has a reading room, exhibition room and event room on the ground floor. The archive stacks are located in the basement or under the former school yard.
