Today I got two postcards: one from Germany and one from Japan.
The card from Germany shows the Völklingen Ironworks in Völklingen in the German State of Saarland. The Völklingen Ironworks were first planned in 1873 but not materialised. In 1881 they were again constructed and the first smelter finally began working in 1883. In 1986 it was closed. The Völklingen Ironworks are an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage and since 1994 they are an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
