Kaiser Fountain, Kaiserslautern

Highlight • Monument

With a diameter of 12 meters and a height of 5 meters, it cannot be overlooked: the Kaiserbrunnen at the Mainzer Tor. Since 1987 it has not only been an attraction for tourists and those interested in architecture, but also for locals and above all children, who quickly transform the artistically humorous foray through the history and present of the city of Kaiserslautern into a playground...

If the Kaiserbrunnen can be understood as a three-dimensional history and story book, then Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and King Rudolf von Habsburg are the main characters - both personalities who were pioneers in the history of the city. The fish as a heraldic animal shrouded in legend should not be missing, nor should the "Elwedritsche", a regional mythical creature. Other symbols from the realm of history are the Napoleon hat, the horse armor of the knights who used to live on the Rittersberg, the donkey and the horse as former beasts of burden or transport, the emigrant ship or the city seal. For example, an Opel engine and a (Pfaff) sewing machine as well as wheels and keys as a symbol of the Technical University represent the modern regional economy. And of course a football - signed by honorary citizen and 1954 world champion Fritz Walter - should not be missing in the city of the red devils.

And what do all the other animal figures mean? We would like to briefly explain some of them: Of course, the owl is a sign of wisdom for Kaiserslautern's long tradition as a city of schools and now also as a university city. The elephants with the city towers symbolize the strength of the earlier city wall.

And the mouse? This is the identifying mark of the Palatinate sculptor Professor Gernot Rumpf, who created the Kaiserbrunnen from bronze and sandstone...

St. Martin's Square and Fountain

Highlight • Monument

St. Martins Square is one of the most beautiful squares in the city. It was largely spared the severe destruction of the Second World War. The charm of this place is made up of the pretty houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, together with the old trees and the lively babbling fountain.

That day came as I expected. It hasn't rained since Saturday, but it started this Wednesday at 4:20 p.m. Thick clouds came, there was a rumble and then it started. It started to rain, that's it I thought.
But luckily after 15 min it stopped but it had cooled down a bit.
So let's go to the starting point, as …

Today it should be driven to the steam noodle farm the 2nd. but Peter put steady rain in our way. At 3 p.m. he gave us permission to drive due to the weather. It was only supposed to be a drive over asphalt. So it went off with little traffic via Friedenstraße to the "little prince" at the roundabout to …
