The Völklingen Ironworks, located in the German town of Völklingen, Saarland, was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage site in 1994. 'Völklinger Hütte', founded in 1873, is now the worldwide only remaining ironworks from the iron and steel industry’s heyday. It was closed down in 1986 and became a listed building. Today, the Völklinger Hütte is a museum. The Ferrodrom is an interactive science center focusing on the making of iron and visitors can tour the production areas.
