Industrial Heritage Festival Völklinger Hütte
Three days of concerts, light art and performance amid the disused blast furnaces of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Industrial Heritage Festival turns the disused blast furnaces of the Völklinger Hütte into a spectacular stage. Over three days in July, concerts, light installations and performance art fill the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The contrast of live culture against monumental rusting steel is unlike anything else in the region. It is one of the best times to experience the ironworks, so book accommodation in and around Saarbrücken well ahead.
