Völklinger Hütte App

An audio guide for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Völklingen Ironworks.

The audio guide will take you safely and informatively through the World Cultural Heritage Site at the Völklingen Ironworks. In the sintering-plant, you will see an introductory show which will invite you to go on a journey through time and through the history of the ironworks.

From the roof of the ore shed, you will have a fantastic view over Völklingen. Through the burden shed, the 'belly' of the ironworks, with its enormous ore silos, your tour will continue to the area by the blast furnaces and up a steep stairway to the top platform at a height of 27 metres. There, the blast furnaces were charged with the ore.

The coking plant is the next stop, and then you come to the Science Center Ferrodrome, the adventure world of iron and steel. Your tour ends in the blower shed with its gigantic machines.
