Kaiserslautern - Stiftsplatz

In the center of Kaiserslautern lies the Stiftsplatz, with the three-towered Early Gothic Stiftskirche (13th-14th C.; Protestant). In the porch is a memorial, with figures of Luther and Calvin, commemorating the union of the two Protestant denominations (1818). In front of the church can be seen the "Schöner Brunnen" ("Beautiful Fountain").

To the northeast is St Martin's Church (14th C.; R.C.). West of this is the neo-Renaissance Fruchthalle (1843-46), originally the fruit and vegetable market, now a public hall.
