Guided Story

Here you are at Von-Behring-Platz, a small park nestled between Oberer Saarlandstraße and Pettenkoferstraße. It's named after Emil von Behring, the discoverer of the diphtheria serum and the first Nobel laureate in medicine. Take a look around and you'll notice the creatively sculpted stones designed by the local artist group AnDer e. V. in 2013. These artistic stones add a unique character to the park, inviting you to pause and enjoy the setting. Just behind you, about 117 meters south, lies the Arche-Park Tiergehege Witthausbusch, known for its small animal enclosures. Its proximity makes the park a convenient spot for families who park here before heading to see the animals.
