The synthetic ice rink has a size of 26 x 12 meters. Ice skates and skating aids can also be hired on site. Alternatively, you can of course also bring your own ice skates.

DCR Exhibition: “Handshake” at the Pfalzbibliothek Kaiserslautern
The exhibition of the Docu Center Ramstein is now displayed at the Pfalzbibliothek Kaiserslautern until April 1st. US Americans and Germans have been living together in the Palatinate for more than 70 years. But how does one actually prepare for such a coexistence? The US military members stationed here, and their families receive a variety of welcome guides informing them about the location and its facilities. There are also travel guides for the closer and further region and finally information books about Germany and the Germans. For German employees the period of occupation already meant a change, as they had to learn a foreign language within a very short time. The exhibition "HANDSHAKE" demonstrates how both sides approach and meet each other. Opening hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Pfalzbibliothek is closed on Sundays. Free admission!
Address: Bismarckstraße 17, 67655 Kaiserslautern
