The Saar Protectorate was a German borderland territory twice temporarily made a protectorate state. Since rejoining Germany the second time in 1957, it is the smallest Federal German Area State (Flächenland), the Saarland, thus not counting the city-states Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. It is named after the Saar River. (Wikipedia)
