Big birthday in a small state: Saarland celebrates its 100-year old history


It will all kick off on January 10th with a New Year's reception of State President Tobias Hans (CDU). Because of its history, there is something unusual about the Saar: the mental boundaries are identical to the national borders." Further border changes followed in subsequent years, even after the Second World War: "But the matter was settled in 1957,'' explained Reiner Jung, the deputy director of the Saarland Museum of History. "In Saarland, we have proportionally the highest number of volunteers nationwide in relation to the number of residents," says Wagner. In order to bring the Saar history to life, it is going on tour in the “Saar Hundred” as a traveling exhibition to municipalities and schools in the state
