Saarlouis is in the industrial heartland of Saarland, the small German state that borders France and has a long history of coal and steel production. Saarland faces state elections on March 26 and so far the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats are leading in polls. The right-wing populist Alternative for Germany has slipped in polls in the last two months, though it is still likely to get seats in the state parliament. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)</p>
