The VÖLKLINGER HÜTTE is a former ironworks founded in 1873 in the Saarland town of Völklingen. After nearly 100 years of successful existence, the plant was shut down in 1986. In 1994 the UNESCO announced the Völklinger Hütte to the status of a World Heritage Site and the listed factory complex is the only preserved ironworks in the world from the heyday of the iron and steel industry. On an area of over 600,000 m² an exciting theme and adventure park has developed over time with huge lost place buildings and heaps of art, from graffiti to murals and installations or sculptures. This special space is a fascinating urbex paradise where past, present and future meet in a variety of ways. On their website the organizers offer interesting venues and guided tours throughout the year, but the highlight is certainly the world famous giant exhibition in the so called „European Center for Art and Industry Culture“. Since 2011 the great URBAN ART BIENNALE has taken place here every two years, presenting fantastic creators from all over the world with more than 100 participating artists per edition. Below are the contributions to the individual festivals, sorted alphabetically by artist, but also works that were created apart of the Biennale or artworks outside of the iron factory permisses but as part of the festival. We only have a few of the many artworks covered, if you also have photos you can send them to info@vagabundler.com and we will add them to this page here.
