Bad Klosterlausnitz is situated at an altitude of 323 m in the east of the Saale-Holzland district of Thuringia, about 5 km southwest of the district town, Eisenberg/Thüringen. Bad Klosterlausnitz has a population of about 3,700 and also fulfils the administrative duties for the neighboring municipalities of Albersdorf, Bobeck, Scheiditz, Schlöben, Schöngleina, Serba, Tautenhain, Waldeck and Weißenborn.

The oldest written mention of Klosterlausnitz, a document issued by Pope Innocent II, dates from 1137. The monastery of the Augustine Canonesses was built in c.1150–1181/85. The monastery church was rebuilt in 1855–1866. Since about 1880 Klosterlausnitz became a spa place. The first mud bath spa was founded in 1939. In 1939 the predicate 'Bad' was added to the town name as a recognition of its role as a spa town.
