The trip still isn't 100% right now but I think still more likely than not to happen. I think I'll try to travel ahead to gain extra time on the weekend to explore a little more. Looking some more at the ironworks it certainly looks full of interesting potential there, even if not my normal photo comfort zone (wildlife).
The most likely route I'll take will be to fly in via Frankfurt as there is no direct flight from UK to Saarbrücken. Debating if it is worth spending a little time in Frankfurt itself too, or should I spend more around Saarbrücken?

You could also fly to
- Luxemburg
- Metz
- Frankfurt-Hahn (with RyanAir)
This should be (much) closer than Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is obviously nice with respect to its skyline. On the way to Saarbruecken you would pass Mainz which has an impressive Cathedral. Saarbruecken is actually not a really nice city - the old ironworks are, by far, the highlight there.
If you come in via Frankfurt-Hahn you could visit Trier which is certainly a better bet as town than Saarbruecken. It's actually the oldest town in Germany (founded by the Romans).
