The Club LaLuna is located in Saarlouis, east of the town centre.
Saarlouis is the sixth-largest city in Saarland and lies roughly 25 kilometres northwest of Saarbrücken, right by the French border. It was founded after the Peace of Nijmegen in 1679, when Lorraine passed to France and Louis XIV had a fortress town built on the former grounds of Wadgassen Abbey. The former fortress of Saarlouis (Sarre-Louis, called Sarre-Libre from 1793-1810) still shapes the hexagonal layout of the city centre today. From 1887 onwards the fortress was demolished; ramparts still survive from that era - today used as restaurants under the name Kasematten - along with the old moats.
In 1815 Saarlouis fell to Prussia; after the end of the First World War in 1918 it was again occupied by France and placed under League of Nations administration. On 1 March 1935 the Saar region became part of the German Reich again and was renamed Saarlautern from then on. The name Saarlouis was reintroduced after the war in 1945. The city has been a Bundeswehr garrison town since 1972. It's easily reached via the A8/A620 motorway and has its own train station.
The old Paradeplatz (Place d'Armes) with its baroque Kommandantur is known today as Großer Markt and is the central square of the city centre. It's also home to the Catholic parish church of St. Ludwig, the most important sacred building in Saarlouis, dating back to 1685. The town hall, located on the corner of Großer Markt/Deutsche Straße, was built between 1951 and 1954.
The most important employer in the city is the Ford plant in the Röderberg industrial area. Beyond that, thanks to a closely intertwined industrial history, there's lively economic cooperation between Saarlouis and neighbouring Dillingen.
Michel Ney, Napoleon's famous field marshal, as well as Heinrich Marx, the father of Karl Marx, and Oskar Lafontaine were all born in Saarlouis.
