On November 18, 2025, the project team Saarmila conducted a walkshop in the Vogelsang Educational Quarter, applying the methodology of promenadology to gain a deeper understanding of the area. The educational quarter comprises the Vogelsang Primary School, the municipal daycare center Metzer Wiesen, and the Protestant daycare center.

Our transdisciplinary team is currently focusing on researching and communicating the historical and political factors that have shaped the present state of mobility planning in Saarland, as well as the effects such a system has on the everyday lives of its residents. This focus was developed on the basis of current data, which show that Saarland has the highest motorway density and the highest private car density of all German federal states. Drawing on regional and urban history, video and photographic archives, and field research, we analyze the broader context in order to better understand our surroundings from multiple perspectives.
