The 2009 German 2 euro commemorative coin depicts the Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Designed by Friedrich Joachim St. Wendel, the church serves as the central emblem for the state of Saarland, which is represented by this issue in the German Bundesländer series. The design captures the intricate facade and the distinct spire of the church, reflecting its status as a significant cultural landmark and a symbol of the city's historical identity. By featuring this site, the coin highlights the architectural heritage and regional pride of Saarland within the federal structure of Germany. This standard circulation coin was issued in 2009 with a mintage of 6,460,000 pieces.
