Dillingen/Saar, Industrial municipality in Saarlouis district, Germany.

The municipality stretches along both banks of the Saar River, with three distinct districts: central Dillingen, Pachten, and Diefflen at 183 meters elevation.

Archaeological discoveries reveal Gallo-Roman settlements at Contiomagus, while the establishment of Dillinger Hütte ironworks in the late 17th century marked industrial growth.

The municipality maintains over 100 local organizations, from choral groups to sports clubs, with regular events at the Renaissance-style Old Castle.

The Dillingen railway station connects to major cities like Saarbrücken and Trier, while the town center provides administrative services from Monday through Friday.

The Jewish cemetery, established in 1755, stands as the largest in Saarland, representing centuries of regional Jewish heritage.
