Dudweiler is a borough of Saarbrücken, on the Sulzbach creek.
In 977, Dudweiler was first mentioned in official documents of German Emperor Otto II as the location of a chapel (Duodonisvillare).
Dudweiler received town privileges on 12 September 1962.
Since then, Dudweiler has also been the name of one of the four city districts (Stadtbezirke) of Saarbrücken.
Today Dudweiler is characterised by its proximity to the Saarland University campus.
