About Neunkirchen (Saarland)
Neunkirchen (the German name could be translated as "nine churches" as for the pronunciation, the "eu" is pronounced like "oi" in "noise" and the "ch" is pronounced like "j" in Spanish) is the second biggest city in the Saar area after Saarbrücken. While the river Saar does not in fact flow through town, it is often called Neunkirchen (Saar) to distinguish it from other towns of the same name. The coat of arms of the city shows a church as well as symbols of mining and industry, that are of immense historical importance for the city. Perhaps its most famous son is Erich Honnecker, who hails from Wiebelskirchen, now part of Neunkirchen. Honnecker would come to lead the GDR (East Germany) for most of the second half of its 40 year existence.
