Wadgassen, Administrative division in Saarland, Germany

The municipality of Wadgassen spans across 25.93 square kilometers along the Saar river, situated 15 kilometers west of Saarbrücken in Saarland.

The Premonstratensian Wadgassen Abbey operated from 1135 to 1792, marking the settlement's early development and religious significance in the region.

The Deutsches Zeitungsmuseum preserves the history of newspaper publishing, while the Glashütte Museum documents the regional glass manufacturing traditions.

The municipality merged with five neighboring areas in 1974, including Differten, Friedrichweiler, Hostenbach, Schaffhausen, and Werbeln, forming the current administrative structure.

The former Cristallerie Wadgassen site housed the Saarländisches Zweiradmuseum until 2007, displaying the region's two-wheeled vehicle heritage.
