Development of Sites with Industrial Culture

In Saarland, industrial culture has moved more and more into the center of economic and cultural policies. Huge former mining areas are resource and challenge alike.

The IKS Industriekultur Saar has taken the challenge and developed sustainable concepts how to deal with industrial monuments. To meet this challenge, it relies on constructive and sometimes unconventional solutions. In Göttelborn and Landsweiler-Reden, for instance, the IKS has developed two prominent locations that keep their characteristic industrial cultural qualities and, at the same time, are platforms for new businesses with future-oriented technologies and new products.
