Overview

  • Dive into the forgotten decade, when Saarbrücken was the melting pot of a radical geopolitical experiment. Between the ashes of the Second World War and the birth of the European Union, the Saarland was a quasi-independent state, torn between French ambitions, German identity, and the utopian dream of becoming the first truly “European” territory. Accompanied by historian Max and local Lucia, you decipher modernist messages, stand in squares where fierce referendums were held, and discover how a failed nation-state accidentally laid the foundation for modern Europe.
