DB reopened the Niedtalbahn after modernisation on 31 Aug 2026, with the first early-morning train running from Dillingen to Hemmersdorf. Reopening had earlier been promised for 7 Aug, but according to the Plattform Mobilität group rail replacement buses ran until 23 Aug. Weather shelters at the three new stations are still to be installed; battery-electric Stadler Flirt trains with about 20 round trips a day are planned from the December 2026 timetable change and will still terminate at the state border (LOK Report, 31 Aug 2026). — Sources: https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/saarland-die-niedtalbahn-ist-wieder-am-netz.html · https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/saarland-niedtalbahn-bleibt-wegen-modernisierung-laenger-gesperrt-als-geplant.html · https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/aus-den-laendern/saarland-125-jahre-niedtalbahn.html

ROGESA, the joint subsidiary of Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Saarstahl that produces pig iron for both parents, plans a plant in Dillingen/Saar that processes shredded iron and steel scrap (shear scrap) using AI-assisted object recognition and X-ray analysis and reduces impurities, above all free copper, by about 30%; it is due to start up in the second half of 2028. This is meant to increase the use of scrap in the electric arc furnace and to save up to 16 GWh of energy, up to 76,000 tonnes of CO₂ and about 63,000 tonnes of direct reduced iron (DRI) a year. The Federal Environment Ministry is backing the first large-scale use of the process with EUR 2.8 million from its Environmental Innovation Programme; total investment and jobs are not stated (LOK Report, 5 Jun 2026). — Sources: https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/industrie/rogesa-ressourcenschonende-produktion-von-hochqualitativem-gruenem-stahl.html · http://www.umweltinnovationsprogramm.de/projekte
