The Ford-Hochhaus is a 23-story residential building located in Saarlouis near the Ford manufacturing plant in the Beaumarais district. It contains approximately 140 apartments and several ground-floor commercial spaces.
The building was constructed in the 1960s as the Ford factory drove urban development and created demand for worker housing in the region. The site had previously held Beaumarais Castle, destroyed during World War II.
The building reflects architectural styles from the late 1960s, when the Ford factory shaped the city and drove new residential construction in the area. Today, residents experience daily life near the industrial center that defined this neighborhood's identity.
The building is within walking distance of central Saarlouis and accessible by public transport, making daily life convenient for residents and visitors. Nearby shops and services are located throughout the surrounding neighborhood.
At night, a large illuminated Ford advertisement on the facade shines across the city and serves as a reminder of the area's industrial past. This glowing sign has become one of the most visible landmarks when viewed from various parts of town after dark.
