Saarland
 
Rhineland-Palatinate Hesse Lower Saxony Brandenburg Mecklenburg-West Pomerania Saxony-Anhalt Saxony Schleswig-Holstein Saarland Bavaria Baden-Württemberg Where being part of Europe has become a way of life.
The County of Saarpfalz was created on 1 January 1974 when the local boundaries and administrative districts in Saarland were reformed.
It is the legal successor to the former counties of St. Ingbert and Homburg, and the administration is based in the county and university town of Homburg. The name “County of Saarpfalz” goes back to the history of the district, which used to belong to Rhine-Bavaria.
The County of Saarpfalz now has 158,000 inhabitants, and its total area of 420 square kilometres includes the towns of Homburg, St. Ingbert, Bexbach and Blieskastel, as well as the parishes of Kirkel, Mandelbachtal and Gersheim. Situated in the south-east of Saarland, the County of Saarpfalz has a 30 km boundary with neighbouring France.

Whilst there are numerous processing industries in the northern part of the County of Saarpfalz, including major companies such as Bosch and Michelin, the southern part of the county is devoted more to agriculture and has particularly beautiful countryside.
