The German spellings for Saarland are Zahrland and/or Sahrland. It is also known as Saar Territory and Saar Basin. Before WW I it was part of the German Empire but the treaty of Versailles gave France control of the area. It included portions of the Prussian Rhine province and the Rhine Palatinate. In 1935 the people voted to again become part of Germany. The area was known as Westmark by the Nazis. After WW II Saarland again came under French administration until 1957 when it was returned to Germany. The reference place name is Germany, Saarland.
