The Saarland (German: das Saarland, pronounced [das ˈzaːɐ̯lant]; French: la Sarre [la saʁ]) is one of the sixteen states (or Bundesländer) of the Federal Republic of Germany. With its capital at Saarbrücken, it has an area of 2,570 km² and its population (as of 30 April 2012) is approximately 1,012,000. In terms of both area and population size – apart from the city-states of Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg – it is Germany's smallest state. The wealth of its coal deposits and their large-scale industrial exploitation, coupled with its location on the border between France and Germany, have given the Saarland a unique history in modern times.

The Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site – one of the most exciting places in the world The Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site is the first industrial monument from the golden age of industrialization to be included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. It is the only fully preserved ironworks of its time. The industrial monument will be preserved for future generations. The Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site shows outstanding exhibitions on an international level.
Don't miss it if you are in the vicinity. If you are interested in history, go there. You get an idea of the machinations to get to the second World war. If you are interested in technology, go there to see the steps to make iron highest degree. And if you are interested in economics, this is a prime example. Without the Montan union, Europe would not exist as it is today. And if you are interested in some awesome photography, go there.

While returning to Sankt Wendel since being back in Germany, I was happy to be able to enter the Basilica (which has always been locked on weekends)- A magnificent peaceful spiritual church for one who is seeking to pray in total silence and distractions during this unknown pandemic.
