Barbarossa, gardens and more.

The name is a reference to the interesting history of this Barbarossa city where Germany’s largest interlinked woodlands are right on your doorstep. Kaiserslautern has many stories to tell: as a verdant city, a cultural city, a shopping city and, of course, also a football city. As far as recreational facilities are concerned, the people of Kaiserslautern are really spoilt. The gardening exhibition attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and the Japanese Garden impresses all, with its harmony of light and shade, plants and stones, water and paths.

Culture.

Top addresses for this versatile cultural programme in Kaiserslautern are the Pfalztheater, the Kulturzentrum Kammgarn, the Theodor-Zink Museum and the Pfalzgalerie. The concerts in the city are as diverse as their venues – from the symphonies in the historic Fruchthalle to the big bands in the open-air at the Volkspark.

The art of celebrating.

If there were to be a world championship in the art of celebrating, Kaiserslautern would have a good chance of taking the title. Whether it’s the culinary and musical delights taking place in the historical background of the Altstadtfest, or at the Kammgarn Jazz Festival or the atmospheric Christmas Market – there’s always something going on!
