About this school trip

The Völklinger Hütte is the only ironworks in the world from the heyday of industrialisation to survive in its entirety, and the first industrial monument from that period to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. For secondary and vocational students, it is an impressive place to see just how hard and far-reaching work in the steel industry was.

Pupils explore the site with its imposing blast furnace group, visit the Science Center Ferrodrom and take in changing exhibitions. In the 'Paradies' garden, nature has reclaimed the industrial site. There is a dedicated offer for schools, with guided tours and workshops, and attention is also paid to subjects such as forced labour in the history of the works.

We are happy to take care of transport to Völklingen for you and your pupils. With a comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your group travels safely and in a relaxed way to this remarkable heritage site.
