Lulustein, Historic memorial stone in Alt-Saarbrücken, Germany
The Lulustein is a black granite stone monument standing on a former parade ground behind the ATSV Saarbrücken sports hall in Alt-Saarbrücken. Its surface displays the inscription 'Lulustein 2ten August 1870 V.V.', marking the date and historical significance linked to German-French military events.
The stone was erected to commemorate 1870, when French and Prussian troops clashed in this area during their conflict. The date August 1870 marks a significant military moment between the two nations.
The stone marks a turning point in German-French relations that locals connect to their regional past. Its inscription tells of a moment when borders shifted in this part of Europe.
The stone sits on a former military ground and is easy to reach from the street that shares its name. Visitors should know that it is an open-air monument accessible at any time.
Over the years, visitors have chipped away pieces of the granite stone and taken them as souvenirs, leading to multiple restorations. The monument bears visible signs of this history of unintentional damage.
