TITLE: Saar Polygon

The Saar Polygon in Ensdorf, Saarland is a monument commemorating the coal mining industry in Saarland (Germany), which ended in June 2012.

In Saarland, coal has been mined over several centuries. At times, the industry was the largest employer in the region. In June 2012, the last coal mine, Bergwerk Saar, was closed.[1][2] Since then, there has been no more coal mining in the Saarland. Nevertheless, the history of the coal mining industry, along with its associated traditions, is part of the region's heritage.
