These pennants were ceremoniously awarded to the "St. Barbara" miners' and steelworkers' association Saarlouis-Fraulautern at a large miners' festivity in Saarlouis, where the association flag of the "Barbarabruderschaft" was consecrated, by the only two unions in the Saarland, the Gewerkschaft Christlicher Saarbergleute and the Industrie-Gewerkschaft Bergbau.
