Neunkirchen: Huettenpark, Saar Iron Heritage, and the Saarland's Second-Largest City
Neunkirchen has a population around 50,000 and lies on the Blies river in the Saarland, about 20 kilometres northeast of Saarbruecken. The Neunkircher Huette (ironworks), operating from 1593 until 1982, shaped the city for centuries. The Alte Huette site has been partly transformed into the Saarpark shopping centre and recreational areas. The Stumm family, iron dynasty owners, left their mark on the town's architecture.
The Stummplatz, named after the industrialists, anchors the centre. The Zoo Neunkirchen houses exotic animals in a hillside setting. The Saarlaendisches Bergbaumuseum in the neighbouring Bexbach documents the region's mining history. Neunkirchen is the Saarland's second-largest city after Saarbruecken but significantly smaller. The Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve begins east of the town. The French border is 30 kilometres south. Adult companionship follows the Saarland's regulatory approach.
