The famous Black Forest gateau owes its name to the
forest surrounding Lörrach, a town 450 km from Sens (35 km beyond the French border) and crossed by the Wiese.
Twinned since 1966, economic and cultural exchanges as well as between schools and associations have increased constantly. Built more recently than Sens, this town is highly commercial and industrialised. Today it has a population of 45,000, including its urban area. Lörrach has excellent facilities and pedestrian areas are given pride of place, as in the whole of Germany. Today, Mrs. Gudrun Heute-Blum has been the Mayor of this border town since 2003.

Today, Germany is acknowledged as France's leading economic partner.
Although being close to Basle, Lörrach puts on its own top-class cultural performances in the new cultural centre, the Burghof.
