Wadgassen

Few towns in Saarland have a history as closely tied to a Premonstratensian abbey as Wadgassen. Set beside the Saar River, this municipality lies in southwest Germany’s industrial borderland, close to France and within the Saar valley’s long-established transport corridor. Wadgassen Abbey was founded in the 12th century and, after its dissolution in the French Revolutionary era, its grounds became linked with Villeroy & Boch production. That transition from monastic estate to industry remains central to local identity. The former abbey setting is also associated with the Deutsches Zeitungsmuseum, devoted to newspaper history.
