Kaiserslautern - Overview
A provincial city in the south west of Germany, with a local population of under 100,000 and around 38,000 American military. Lying in a long, drawn-out valley not far from the French border, the city has been the scene of military occupation and destruction throughout its long history. Today, it has few historic buildings remaining, and the city is best known in Germany as a footballing hotbed.

Stadium
The Fritz Walter Stadium
The city's Fritz Walter Stadium atop the Betzenberg hill towers over the railway station and the neighbouring area of Kaiserslautern. One of the smaller grounds to stage game in the 2006 World Cup, but a true footballing ground, with no running track and the capacity to create a great atmosphere.

1. FC Kaiserslautern
Kaiserslautern is more than just a football town, claims the city's official tourist guide. But what, it goes on to ask rhetorically, would Kaiserslautern be without football? What indeed! The city's famous club, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, is the heart that pumps at the centre of local life. In truth, the city would nothing much without it!
