The West Curve

Kaiserslautern is small in size (less than 100,000 inhabitants), but big in football. In the photo, you see a massive banner wishing Ottmar Walter, a former player, a happy 65th 86th birthday. The impressive new stadium itself is named after his brother Fritz Walter, a national football legend.

Atmosphere. Tradition. Football.

    I know them since I was a child, they played a Romanian team back in 82/83 during the UEFA cup. I remember the communists were too cheap to buy the game for tv so we had to listen to it on the radio.
    Impressive stadium.

    Thanks for the comments.

    Collart Thierry: Yes, great club, great suppoerters. Good that they seem to be set to go up this season.

    Andreea: Yes, they rebuilt the stadium for the world cup in 2006, almost bankrupting the club and city. But it is impressive.

    escofield: Oops, thanks for the correction.
