Ensdorf

Among the towns of Saarland, Ensdorf stands out for the Saar Polygon, a steel monument on the former Duhamel spoil heap. The municipality lies on the Saar River, south of Saarlouis, in a landscape long shaped by coal mining and industry. Opened in 2016, the walkable Polygon commemorates the region’s mining heritage and forms a prominent landmark above the river valley. The closure of the Ensdorf coal mine in 2012 marked the end of an important chapter in Saarland mining. Today, the former industrial terrain reflects the changing use of land along the Saar.
