The map
About this Völklingen map poster
Völklingen lies on the Saar River in Saarland, a short way downstream from Saarbrücken and close to the French border. The town stretches along the valley, with the river, the railway and the main roads running in parallel. Residential districts climb the wooded slopes on either side. It is a linear place, shaped by the valley more than by any single centre.
The most striking feature on the map is the Völklingen Ironworks, a huge former ironworks beside the river that stopped production in 1986. In 1994 UNESCO listed it as a World Heritage Site, the first industrial monument from the height of industrialisation to be listed. Today it hosts exhibitions among its blast furnaces.
A Völklingen map poster shows how closely industry and town grew together: the broad footprint of the works, the tight rows of housing built for its workers, and the Saar curving past. In black and white, the contrast between the heavy industrial blocks and the finer residential streets is especially clear.

Ironworks footprint
The Völklingen Ironworks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, fills a large block beside the river. Its scale is obvious even on a simple street map.
Hillside districts
Residential streets climb the slopes above the valley, and their curving roads contrast with the straight lines of rail and river below.
