Trivia

  • Volklingen's birthday is the date of the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866, the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War, leading to German unification. The Königgrätzer Marsch was written to commemorate the battle.
  • Volklingen possesses Eisengrad's Ancient Great Blood, granting her extreme cold tolerance and ability to quickly regenerate even fatal wounds, making her a royalty similar to Fussen, however the Eisengrad aristocracy have been abolished and replaced by the Eisengrad Republic. While Fussen continued to spend lavishly, Volklingen instead lived poorly.
  • Volklingen's design bears some resemblance to Wolverine of the Marvel universe - her weapon of choice is a pair of metal claws, and her Ancient Great Blood grants her accelerated regeneration that can recover any of her wounds quickly, even from damage that would be instantly fatal to a human (though it will still be very painful).
  • The building in the background of [Undying Pride] is the Völklingen Ironworks. Located in the German town of Völklingen, Saarland. In 1994, it was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
  • Volklingen is the first Train Knight to receive her second S-rarity Layer, [Enjoying the Festival] Volklingen.

Volklingen Station entrance.

Völklingen station is the main railway station in the city of Völklingen in the German state of Saarland. It is now only served by passenger trains on the Saar line (German: Saarstrecke) between Trier and Saarbrücken. The station is located south-west of central Völklingens on the southern ring road. To the west lies the World Heritage Site of the former Völklingen Ironworks, which was formerly connected by sidings to the station’s yard.

The station was built during the construction of the Saar line, which was opened from Saarbrücken to Merzig on 16 December 1858. In 1860, the first station building was built, which was located to the east of the present building. In the Franco-Prussian War, the station was a target of French artillery fire, which led to the closure of rail operations. In 1872, a branch line was built to the Grube Viktoria (a colliery named after Victoria, Princess Royal) in Püttlingen branching off the Saar line to the east of the station. The Völklingen–Thionville railway was opened in 1880.

Volklingen Station platform.

In 1893 the station had become too small and the current Alten Bahnhof ("old station") was built. From the mid-1960s the Saar line was electrified. The new station building adjacent to the existing building was opened in 1992 after a new building had been under discussion since 1975. The old station was heritage listed. Until 2002, Völklingen was served by InterRegio trains; it has since only been served by regional traffic.

The old station building, which was built in 1893–94, is equipped with a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks and facilities and an entrance hall built in the 1950s; these are heritage listed. The tripartite building was built of brick faced masonry on large sandstone plinths. In 1997, the Saarland State Development Corporation (Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Saarland, LEG Saar), acquired the 1600 square-metre station building and modernised it for €2.9 million, partly funded by the state, the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union. It is intended to host a multimedia exhibition called Eingangstor (gateway) leading to the Völklingen Ironworks World Heritage Site. The ceiling beams and medallions with territorial coats of arms mounted on the wall in 1893 have been restored. Since 1998, it has housed a theatre and a cinema, a tourist information centre for the city of Völklingen and a restaurant. Since 2002, it has also housed an IT training centre of the community college of Völklingen. Wikipedia

Volklingen Ironworks.

In the heyday of the nearby Völklingen Ironworks, the station served as an important transportation hub for steel workers and raw materials. From the mid-1960s the Saar line was electrified. The new station building adjacent to the existing building was opened in 1992 after a new building had been under discussion since 1975. The old station was heritage listed. Until 2002, Völklingen was served by InterRegio trains; it has since only been served by regional traffic.

The Volklingen Ironworks in Saarland was the first historical landmark of heavy industry to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This plant, which once produced raw iron, is a monument of the industrial age. Founded in 1873 by Julius Buch, it was expanded in the early twentieth century by the Röchling family in order to modernize production. The ironworks have closed, but it remains a cultural landmark to this day.

The Völklinger Hütte is a museum. The Ferrodrom is an interactive science center focusing on the making of iron. Visitors can tour the production areas. In addition, temporary exhibits on a variety of topics are hosted in the large power halls. In the summer, occasional concerts are held.Wikipedia
