Kaiserslautern

 Churches
Collegiate Church - Protestant church
Marktstraße 13, 67655 Kaiserslautern
Full of history and noteworthy. Even without being an art or church historian, if you look at the Kaiserslautern Collegiate Church you see that it is something special - above all its "picturesque side" from the Marktstraße with the "Schönen Brunnen" (Fountain) in front of it is impressive (it was first mentioned in 1571). In fact it is considered to be the most important late gothic hall church in southwest Germany and is in addition the birthplace of the "Palatine Union" because here the Lutherans and the Reformers in the Palatine joined forces in 1818.
 St. Martins´s Church - Catholic church
Klosterstraße 4, 67655 Kaiserslautern
St. Martin’s, now a Catholic parish church, is considered a vivid example of a medieval church of a mendicant order. 
Built at the beginning of the 14th century as a Franciscan monastery church, it was expanded as early as the 15th century and finally dissolved by the French at the end of the 18th century. Today St. Martin's Church is a Catholic parish church.
 Little Church
Unionstraße 2a, 67655 Kaiserslautern
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.
