ABOUT KAISERSLAUTERN

Kaiserslautern or the kings (kaiser) lautern (name of the river) received its name from the favorite hunting retreat of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1155 until 1190. It is a city full of history: Emperor Barbarossa had his Imperial Palace (Kaiserpfalz) erected here, 'The Huntsman from the Electoral Palatinate' lived here; Napoleon once even had breakfast here. In addition, there are many forts, castles and fountains in and around the city. Kaiserslautern offers the opportunity to gain international and multicultural experiences. The internationality of the city is known by its nickname ‘K-town’ affected by the Americans, who form the largest U.S. population centre outside the territory of the United States in the district of Kaiserslautern.
