Regional Group Saarland

“Savoir vivre” im Saarland

Das Saarland wurde erst 1957 nach einer Volksabstimmung als zehntes Land in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland aufgenommen. Seitdem hat es sich als kleinstes Flächenland im Südwesten der Republik von einem industriell durch Kohle und Stahl geprägten Landstrich wegen seiner Nähe zu Frankreich zu einer Region des “savoir vivre” entwickelt.

Would you like to know how Saarlanders live? Would you like to get to know other scholarship holders at Saarbrücken University and meet up in your free time to get to know and appreciate your host country better?

Then come to our meetings: Let’s organize a picnic together on the Saar meadows; let’s visit festivals together (e.g. the Max Ophüls Festival of young German-language film in January or the Franco-German “Perspectives” with theater, acrobatics, dance and performance on Saarbrücken streets and squares in early summer). Let’s experience the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte as a testimony to Saarland industrial culture.

After all the stress at university, don’t you feel like relaxing in the countryside, visiting the “Gardens without Borders” and taking the Saarbahn to the nearby French Saarguemines? Or maybe you would like to take part in an international hiking tour with your new friends and get to know the Saarland landscape?

These are only suggestions, which you can add to at any time with your wishes and suggestions for common meetings. The regional group Saarland is just in the making. Therefore I would like to ask you to come to our first meeting and of course to all later meetings. You can find the dates in the calendar of events. Alumni from the region are also very welcome. Maybe there are more interested people who want to actively help and shape the organization of the meetings.

Especially the upcoming pre-Christmas season promises cozy, atmospheric meetings, perhaps at game nights, walks through the Christmas markets, at the Christmas bakery and so on.
