Traditional Saarbrücken closes: New hope in Erfweiler-Ehlingen!

Am Halberg 1, 66121 Saarbrücken, Deutschland - The Brockenhaus restaurant in Saarbrücken closes after 15 years and will open its doors for the last time on July 7, 2025. Operated by Valdete Peci and Hadi Delija, the restaurant has made a name for itself, especially for company and Christmas celebrations. Despite the popularity of the Mediterranean cuisine, the operators now want to accept a new challenge. They plan to run their own restaurant because they were only tenants in the Brockenhaus. The location, which proved to be unattractive in spring and summer, urged the operators to search for a new place.

The future of the two operators looks promising: they bought the "Zum Römerturm" restaurant in Erfweiler-Ehlingen, about 20 minutes from Saarbrücken. This location, which was previously empty, is picturesquely located in the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve, near the St. Mauritius church. The opening of the new restaurant is planned for September 5, 2025, and Mediterranean classics such as pizza, pasta and scaloppina will continue to be on the menu. The new restaurant has already been renovated and has a terrace, which makes it particularly attractive for guests.

charm and traditional awareness

The Brockenhaus has a long story that is reflected in its stylish, rustic facility. The combination of traditional elements and modern accents makes the restaurant unique. It is family -friendly and offers both a play area and barrier -free entrances. Dogs are welcome and the separate smoking room ensures additional comfort.

With great service, WLAN, air -conditioned rooms and a cozy outdoor terrace, the Brockenhaus not only attracted locals, but also a broad target group. The location near the Saarbrücken Zoo and ancient remains of a Römerkastell has made the restaurant a popular destination. If you wanted to reserve a table, you would be given the opportunity to combine tables and use the preparation of special cocktails.

The gastronomy in change

Gastronomy is an important economic factor in Germany and generated over 100 billion euros in 2022. These impressive figures show the great importance that eats in the leisure activities of the Germans. Around 60 percent of couples, young adults and families go to eat regularly, which provides the high demand for hospitals. There are over 61,500 restaurants in Germany, which shows the diversity of the culinary landscape.

Not only the number of restaurants is impressive, the trends are also constantly changing. More and more people value sustainability and increasingly do without meat. Digitization also plays a major role, for example through contactless payment and online delivery services. The Brockenhaus has recognized the signs of the times and always tried to offer its guests an appealing service - now the operators are eagerly awaiting the opening of their new restaurant "Zum Römerturm".

While the Brockenhaus counts its last days, the hope remains that the concept will live in a new environment. It is currently still unclear whether and how the restaurant will remain in Saarbrücken, but the plans of the Peci/Delija family are not completely clear. The culinary future remains exciting.
