Visit the Völklingen Ironworks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only fully preserved ironworks in the world from the heyday of industrialization. Explore the exhibitions at the ironworks, the old coking plant, the paradise and the viewing platform above the rooftops of Völklingen.

The Völklingen Ironworks World Heritage Site is the only fully preserved ironworks from the heyday of industrialization and also the first monument from this era to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today, the Völklingen Ironworks, with its numerous halls, open spaces and intriguing maze of pipe systems, is a unique venue for international exhibitions, festivals and concerts. Culture is joined by nature: the paradise that has emerged from the former “hell” of the coking plant fascinates visitors with its reclaimed parts of the site and its diverse flora and fauna.
