    The Völklinger Hütte is a former ironworks founded in 1873 and was closed down in 1986. In 1994, UNESCO elevated the pig iron production of the Völklinger Hütte to the status of a World Heritage Site as the first industrial monument from the age of industrialization.

    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.🚵‍♂️🌁
