STADTRADELN
STADTRADELN 2024 (02 to 22. June 2024)
For three weeks we cycle against other teams from Saarbrücken - every kilometre counts!
What is STADTRADELN?
In simple terms, STADTRADELN is about cycling as many trips as possible in order to make them climate neutral. It doesn't matter if you have rarely cycled in the past and have just rediscovered your bikes or if you have always simply enjoyed cycling. Every single kilometer counts - especially if you would normally have traveled it by car!
For this reason, the STADTRADELN was created. In this competition, several teams in Saarbrücken compete against each other to see who can collect the most km in 21 days. And we need every single one of you so that our university comes out on top in the end!
What are the benefits of participating?
There are several advantages to cycling. First of all, you are travelling in a climate-friendly way and thus contributing to a healthier environment and a healthier planet. In addition, you can even save time within the city (anyone who has ever travelled by car or bus through the rush hour traffic in Saarbrücken knows what this means) and you are of course also being active on every journey and thus promoting your own health.
In order to support our university and have your kilometres recorded, you must first register for the university team here:
Bicycle campaigns
In addition, together with our co-operation partners, we are offering various bike-related activities during the STADTRADELN period.
Bicycle campaign day on 28.05.2024
Breakfast bags for cyclists
Cyclists who cycle up to the university in the morning on 28 May 2024 will be rewarded with a "cyclist's breakfast bag". It doesn't matter where you cycle up to the campus, we'll be waiting for you at any of the main entrances!
(Please note: The breakfast bags will only be handed out while stocks last).
Bicycle repair tent
Do you want to get your bike in shape for CITY CYCLING and the summer?
On 28 May 2024 you can get your bikes ready for city cycling at the AC Wiese from 11:00 - 14:00. There will be active support from ADFC Saar. The ADFC Saar also offers the opportunity to have your own bike coded and thus better protected against theft (for a small fee) and to test riding a cargo bike.
On the day of action, you can also expect themed information stands, a smoothie stand and much more!

Results STADTRADELN 2023
We would like to say thank you to 115 active cyclists who diligently covered kilometre after kilometre for our university and thus for our environment in the 3 weeks of the STADTRADELN and together cycled a distance of 26,124 km (!)! This put us in a strong 2nd place within the municipality and we were only "beaten" by ZF Friedrichshafen AG in Saarbrücken. In addition to the summary of the UdS statistics, you will find the ranking of the 10 best teams within the municipality as well as the 10 most hard-working cyclists in our university team, among whom we even have four cyclists with over 1,000 km!
So thanks again for cycling so hard and next year we'll take 1st place!
ADFC planning bike tour on 27.06.2023
On 27.06.2023, the ADFC Saar organised a planning bike tour from Saarbrücken city centre to the campus of Saarland University. The aim of the cycle tour was to discuss existing weaknesses in the cycling infrastructure on the route from the city centre to the UdS and to discuss possible improvements together. This was followed by a discussion round on the topic of cycling infrastructure around the campus, in which everyone was able to participate. We have captured a few impressions for you:
