Kaiserslautern

In Rhineland-Palatinate, few cities are as historically bound to the imperial court of Frederick Barbarossa as Kaiserslautern. Set on the Lauter at the northwestern edge of the Palatinate Forest, it grew around a 12th-century imperial palace used by the Hohenstaufen ruler. Remains of the Kaiserpfalz still mark the centre, while nearby Casimir Castle recalls the town's later role as a Palatine residence. Football is another enduring part of local identity: Fritz-Walter-Stadion is home to 1. FC Kaiserslautern and honours the captain of West Germany's 1954 World Cup-winning team.
