The Völklingen Ironworks is the world's only completely preserved ironworks from the heyday of industrialization and at the same time the first industrial monument of this era to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It presents itself to your visitors as a highly exciting and fascinating place where the past, present and future meet in a variety of ways.🚵‍♂️🌁
