Lander at the time of the proclamation the two German States in 1949

After World War II, the Saarland came under French administration again, as the Saar Protectorate in 1947. Under the Monnet Plan France attempted to gain economic control of the remaining German industrial areas with large coal and mineral deposits; the Ruhr area and the Saar area. In the Paris Accords of 23 October 1954, France offered to establish an independent "Saarland", under the auspices of the Western European Union (WEU), but a referendum held on 23 October 1955 rejected this plan by 67.7% to 32.3%. Instead, the people of the Saar opted for the return of the Saar to the Federal Republic of Germany. On October 27, 1956, the Saar Treaty established that Saarland should be allowed to rejoin West Germany, which it did on January 1, 1957. |
