Saarburg, Urban center in Trier-Saarburg, Germany
Saarburg stands at 159 meters elevation near the Saar River, featuring buildings along steep hillsides and a central waterfall within the town boundaries.
The establishment of Saarburg traces back to 964 when Count Siegfried of Luxembourg built a castle, leading to the town receiving its official charter in 1291.
The Glockengießerei Mabilion bell foundry, operating since the 1770s, remains the sole German facility producing traditional bronze bells for cathedrals across the country.
The municipality maintains direct rail connections to major cities and offers numerous accommodations while serving as an administrative center for the surrounding region.
A 60-foot waterfall created by the Leuk River flows through the center of town, resulting from a 13th-century engineering project to redirect the water course.
