| | University of Saarland - ECTS |
 | | The incorporation of the Saarland (Map) into the German Federal Republic, and the decision by the government of the Saarland to use only its own means to maintain the university from then on, undoubtedly marked a turning point in the history of the university. |
 | | The subsequent period of industrialization, capitali-zing upon its coal and iron ore extraction, the Saarland was to witness a renewed financial upswing, terminated in August 1870 with the declaration of war and the confrontation of the French and German armies on border. |
 | | Today Saarbrücken, as the capital of the Saarland, a university town, the site of numerous fairs and congresses, and an industrial and economic trade centre, holds great importance, not only for the southwest of Germany, but also for places far beyond the boundaries of the Saarland. |
