Why did the French had so much interest for Saarland? Meursault2004 15:02, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but this portion of the article seems decidedly anti-french. It seems that a more neutral viewpoint may be appropriate.
As a historian and Fleming (native 'expert' on disliking francophones) I can assure you an anti-French version would sound quite differently! Removing the anonymously put tag, as no shred of argmentation is given, nor a suggestion for more 'neutral' correction Fastifex 09:33, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
This article contradicts with Saar (protectorate) on the subject of currency used during and just after the protectorate. TheGrappler 16:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm asking myself whether we should write "the Saarland". In German, it is always called "das Saarland", i.e., with preceding definite article -- like Switzerland ("die Schweiz") also having an article; and in contrast to, e.g., "England", which never gets an article, even though both end in ...-land.
To me, "Saarland" without an article just sounds plain wrong. -- Wutzofant ( ✉✍) 16:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
It looks to me that Saar County, or german Saarland may be the "Country of All Chances" Wutzofant was asking and confused it with USA. Paul Special+Utilizator+$ ( talk) 06:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
First, it sais: "In general, both dialects are an integral part of the “Saarlandish” identity and thus a strong source of local patriotism"
or similar. A question.
While it's a very attractive map, full of colour, the Saarland 1793 Map is missing something that I feel is very vital to understanding the full message of a map: context. There is not a single city/town name anywhere on the map. Only the scale tells me that I'm actually looking at a small region. Before I noticed that, I thought I was looking at a major chunk of Central Europe. I'm guessing that the area shown in this map is simply an enlargement of the highlighted area in the first map on the page but it would be great for the map itself to confirm that in some way. For all I know, it shows some significant part of the territory surrounding the Saarland as well. Some city/town names and/or state/country names would help. So would the addition of a little bit of the surrounding territory with the names of those neighbours indicated on the map.

RELIGION:64,1% plus 19.5% plus 22% does not make 100%, does not it? :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.20.101.123 ( talk) 13:29, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Mention the origin of the name. Jidanni ( talk) 23:19, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Saarland is also home to the "University of Applied Sciences", German: "Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes", https://www.htwsaar.de/htw/en
CURRENT WP: The Saarland's unification with the Federal Republic of Germany was sometimes referred to as the Kleine Wiedervereinigung (little reunification in contrast with the post-Cold War absorption of the GDR (Die Wende)).
This is plain false. "Die Wende" was the 1989 inner revolution of the GDR (DDR), i.e., the fall of communism. It is NOT a synonyme of "Wiedervereinigung" which is the proper word in German for Reunification. The -Wiedervereinigung- was a consequence, and happened later than the -Wende-. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LMSchmitt ( talk • contribs) 22:52, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
I will correct this falsehood in a few days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LMSchmitt ( talk • contribs) 12:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
I don't want to be be cringey but, i was if anyone knows how 'Saarland' is actually pronounced. It's pronounced like this: (German: [ˈzaːɐ̯lant] )
