Tabaksweiher, Artificial pond near Sankt Arnual, Saarbrücken, Germany.

Tabaksweiher is an artificial pond in Sankt Arnual surrounded by walking paths. The water sits in a quiet setting with restored industrial buildings that define the shoreline.

The pond formed around 1600 as a technical facility. The tobacco mill that gave the place its name was built later in 1831 and shaped the area as a major employer.

The pond takes its name from the Tabaksmühle, a mill built beside it in 1831 where snuff was produced until 1860. The building later served as a dwelling and has housed a restaurant since 1920, whose terrace covers the short northeastern stretch of the bank.

The pond can be walked all the way around, except that the short northeastern stretch is taken up by the terrace of the Restaurant Tabaksmühle. The surrounding area begins the Almet recreation zone, with allotment gardens and horse paddocks alongside the water.

The pond is the lowest of what were once two ponds; the upper one is gone, and the surviving basin was laid out in its present form around 1600. The northeastern stretch of the bank is taken up by the terrace of the Tabaksmühle restaurant, so the loop around the water is not fully walkable there.
