About Saarland
The Saarland is an open-minded and modern, but also nature-loving state in the heart of Europe. It is located in west Germany, next to the border to Luxembourg and France, Belgium is also not far away.
A European spirit grew not only through Franco-German history but also through the cross-border attitude and the daily exchange with our neighbors. Although a third of the Saarland is covered with forests, the economy also plays an important role:
Opportunities for sustainable structural change.
In Saarland, we are proud of our long tradition in the steel industry.
A centuries-old industry that moves with the times:
In 2020, the Dillinger Hütte (founded in 1809) put Germany’s first hydrogen-based steel production plant into operation. I support the expansion of hydrogen technology in Saarland and other regions of Europe.
