Over the years, PBC Roude Léiw Rëmelen has developed into an active club with a strong presence in local competitions and the Luxembourg billiards community. The following section outlines the history of the club, from its foundation to its development into the club it is today.
September 1986
The first meeting of the club’s founders takes place, marking the beginning of the association.
October 1986
The statutes of PBC Bieleser Stuff 1986 are officially established. The club starts with 16 registered players.

Following the closure of the Café Bieleser Stuff, the club relocates to Café Pénalty in Oberkorn and changes its name to PBC Oberkorn 88.

After the end of the lease of Café Pénalty, the club moves to Café du Moulin in Differdange and adopts the new name PBC Roude Léiw Déifferdeng.
Membership: 5 players.
1992
The City of Differdange provides the club with a room containing two billiard tables in the basement of a primary school in Differdange. During the early 1990s, membership grows rapidly. By 1995, the club counts 45 registered players.
Club officials decide to use both available playing venues, with the municipal room mainly serving as a training facility for young talents.

At that time, the City of Differdange unfortunately has no alternative facility to offer.
