One of the sweetest and strongest signs of friendship between Germany and America happened in Kaiserslautern. From 1952 to 1971, approximately 451 American infants who died at birth or shortly after at the American military hospital in Landstuhl or at nearby civilian hospitals were buried in the Kaiserslautern main cemetery, Waldfriedhof, adjacent to Daenner Kaserne.

One of the many joys of living in Germany is the opportunity to sample a variety of German beer. Those who are connoisseurs have probably had wheat beers such as the “Weizenbier” or “Hefeweizen,” pale beers such as “Altbier” or “Pilsener,” or dark beers such as “Bock” or “Dunkles.”
