Unfortunately both don't exist any longer - neither Barbarossa's Kaiserpflaz (Imperial Palace) nor the renaissance castle which the Palatine count had built directly in his vicinity. But the spectacular building hasn't fully disappeared. The ruins which were given a roof and christened the "Casimirsaal" in 1935 are well worth seeing, and in the former living room (or did he perhaps sleep here?) of the "hunter from the electoral Palatinate" today official receptions of the city are held.

In fact it is considered to be the most important late gothic hall churches in southwest Germany. And that is only one of the reasons why you should visit it...
In the immediate neighbourhood of the steel and concrete architecture of City Hall is the imposing sandstone structure of the new Palatinate Theatre, flanked by two masks in Carrara marble.
This hall, the work of architect August von Voit, was built between 1843 and 1846 in Renaissance style, after the Palazzo Medici in Florence, and was originally used as a market hall.
This church was built by the Lutheran community between 1711 and 1717, and stands in what is now the generously-proportioned Union Square in the Rittersberg quarter. Today it is a favourite church for weddings.
This 62-acre area enables citizens and guests of the city of Kaiserslautern to observe game species that can be found in our hunting grounds or that were once found there in former times.
