Facts and practical information

The Saarbrücken district Kaninchenberg is with 228 ha by far the second largest district within the district St. Johann in Saarbrücken.

The share of forest is 8,5 %. The population is 1675 inhabitants. The population loss within the last 16 years was over 15%, which is significantly higher than the city average. The unemployment rate of 10.1% is significantly higher than in the other districts of this part of the city and also higher than that of the city as a whole.

On the namesake Rabbit Mountain, 265.4 m high, are the little-known remains of a princely pleasure palace. The castle was built in 1722 under Count Carl Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken and destroyed during the French Revolution in 1793. Apart from a kind of rock grotto, foundation walls of a building can still be found.

In the past, there were also two wells on Kaninchenberg: the Strummersbrunnen and the Holzbrunnen. These were tributaries of the Kieselbach stream. The wells have since been drained.

The Saarbrücken Ost rail stop is located on the Kaninchenberg.
