The city of Völklingen is surrounded by extensive meadows and forests. A total of 57 percent of Völklingen's total area is forest. The forest is partly owned by the city of Völklingen but also by the state (Saarfost state company). In addition to the municipal forestry office at the Simschel waterworks, the Saarforst state company is also responsible for the Lauterbach, Überherrn and Großrosseln district.

The Simschel waterworks was first put into operation in 1906 and completely renovated in 2002. Today it serves as a venue for open-air events, vernissages, discos as well as conferences, congresses and private celebrations such as weddings. On the ground floor is the old machine hall with 75 square meters of parquet flooring and a raised interior stage and bistro area. On the upper floor is the cozy Kreuzberg room with a sloping roof and gallery. Here to the event location Wasserwerk Simschel - https://www.simschel-events.de
