About Zweibrücken
The City
In 2002, Zweibrücken celebrated its 650 anniversary. It is a lovely place to live and a delightful place for
visitors to explore and experience. Cultural events, lively street parties and originality are just a few aspects
that make this city so lovable. Zweibrücken is the capital of the old duchy of the Pfalz.
Fun fact: Did you know that Barack Obama’s Great-Great-Grandmother, who herself was of the royal duchy
house of the Netherlands, came from this region.
Points of Interest
You can take in a lot of sights: The city’s three great
churches, the historic library Bibliotheca Bipontina, the
ducal palace and the old ducal district with the city’s
museum are all worth a visit.
Points of Interest
The Rose Garden
The rose garden is entitled Europe’s Rose Garden not only because
of its location in Central Europe, but because of its uniqueness. In
today’s garden, emphasis has been placed on the combination of
roses with other garden plants such as perennials, annuals, shrubs
and bushes of all kinds. Yet, roses still dominate the 13-acre scenery.
You can find the oldest and most recent hybridizations, the rarest and
most magnificent roses that international horticulture has achieved.
The rose garden is worthwhile a visit.
Furthermore, the Fashion Outlet is extremely popular:
Over 120 must-have brands and more than 120 stylish
shops offer all you could wish for regarding ‘Fashion &
Style’: Altogether a unique world of shopping.
