Caravan theft

On the evening of July 17, unknown perpetrators stole a white Hobby caravan with license plate KLE-AA140 from a workshop premises on Hervosterstraße. They tampered with the gate's electrical system.

Motorhome tourists in Völklingen: mostly for the World Heritage site

A survey at two motorhome parking areas in Völklingen found that about 90% of guests come to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site Völklinger Hütte. The rest are transit travellers from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries, staying one or two nights. Among those interviewed were a couple from the Lower Rhine, two families from Fulda and a retired couple from Lübeck, who noted the contrast between the region and familiar vineyards, as well as the similarity of locals to people from the Ruhr area.
