Schloss Neuhaus

Schloss Neuhaus is a forester's lodge in Saarbrücken featuring traditional German forestry architecture from the 1700s, designed to serve both residential and administrative purposes. The estate sits within protected state forest land and combines historic structures with modern functions including woodland exhibitions.

The lodge was built in the mid-1700s under Prince Wilhelm Heinrich of Saarbrücken, transforming a former hunting lodge into a working forestry estate. This shift reflected the move away from hunting toward systematic woodland management practices.

The name Neuhaus refers to its origins as a new structure built in the 1700s. Visitors today can explore exhibitions about forest ecology and learn how people have historically used and managed woodland resources.

The lodge is accessible via walking trails and serves as a starting point for exploring the surrounding forest. Visitors will find clear information about available paths and can join organized forest walks from this location.

The site is part of a project where thousands of hectares of forest have developed naturally without forestry work since the late 1900s. These areas demonstrate how woodlands evolve when left untouched by human management.
