To the dynamite factory Lage	Ensemble dynamite factory Saarwellingen	The explosives factory opened in 1910. Production was discontinued at the end of the 1960s and plastic profiles were then manufactured for a while. Large parts of the former production facilities have now been demolished, the site has been converted into a place to live and work and an artificial lake has been created. The buildings that have been preserved mostly date from the first years of production and are considered typical functional architecture of that time.

Parish church of St. Blasius and St. Martinus with furnishings	The church was built in the neo-Gothic style between 1898 and 1900 according to plans by the Trier architect Ernst Brand . The hall church with two aisles ends in the east with a three-quarter choir and has a short transept. The low nave is very wide. In the west tower facade there are simple portals on the left and right, above them figures in niches. The defiant tower on a square base tapers upwards and has a pointed helmet.
Schliefstrasse location	Jewish Cemetery	After the first Jews settled in Saarwellingen in 1671, a cemetery was laid out around 1725. The oldest surviving grave dates from 1829, the last burial took place in September 1936. The cemetery was devastated in 1884. The gate of the cemetery was destroyed and several tombstones were knocked over. During the November pogroms in 1938, the cemetery was desecrated again and then leveled in the last days of the war. After 1945 it was restored by the Saar synagogue community.
Schlossplatz location	Saarwellingen Castle	In 1376 the "Veste Wellingen" was first mentioned in a document. It was looted several times during the Thirty Years War. From 1715 to 1719 the gentlemen had a small castle built on the former castle grounds by the architect Joseph C. Motte from Geneva, which burned down in 1766. The Counts of Wied-Runkel, who had owned Saarwellingen since 1726, immediately began building a new residential palace. During the French Revolution, the counts lost their property and the castle was auctioned in 1804. In 1818 the community acquired the castle and used it as a school building. In 1879 an extension was added to the schoolhouse. The building was badly damaged by artillery shelling at the end of the Second World War. The reconstruction took place in 1948. In 1976/77 the castle was converted into a town hall. The castle was originally a baroque four-sided courtyard. The front was formed by the manor house and two mighty archways. Defiant, low defensive towers loomed in the two rear corners. The former seven-axis mansion with a mansard hipped roof was extended by five axes during the renovation. The extension takes up the architecture of the manor house and extends it. The annex protrudes to the rear.
