|
| As in the neighbouring regions in France and Luxembourg, coal mining and steel production were the principal industries in Saarland until the 1980s and nourished a significant part of Saarland's population.
|
| The <a href="https://www.voelklinger-huette.org/en/world-cultural-heritage-site-voelklingen-ironworks/">Völklingen Ironworks</a> is a steel mill that operated from 1873 until it closed in the wake of the world-wide steel crisis in 1986.
|
| At its peak in the 1960s, the steel mill gave work to more than 17,000 people.
|
| Because the mill was not dismantled and is accessible almost everywhere, it offers an exciting impression of how it must have been working on a steel mill.
|
| </p>
|
|
|
| <p>
|
| The Völklingen Ironworks is part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage since 1994.
|
| Since then, it regularly hosts art and science exhibitions in the unique ambience of its facilities.
|
| </p>
|
|
|
| <p>
|
| We will take a guided tour of the site and have dinner in the former blower hall afterwards.
