Kohlweg 7

The villa at Kohlweg 7 is a residential building from the early 20th century with prominent design elements from the 1910s. The facade displays large windows and ornamental details that characterize the affluent architecture of that era.

The villa was built in 1913 and documents the architectural developments in Saarbrücken before World War I. The building reflects the construction methods and aesthetics of that era before the city was shaped by wartime events.

The building has housed the Franco-German University since 2006 and serves as a symbol of close academic cooperation between both countries. Its spaces are now used for international research and teaching, shaping the city's cultural life.

The building is protected under German heritage preservation laws as an architectural monument and now functions as a research and teaching facility. The exact location and accessibility details can be researched through the city administration or online.

Now owned by the Ministry of Finance and Europe of Saarland, the villa combines its historical significance with a modern institutional purpose. This duality makes it a rare example of a monument that functions as a living place of academic work.
