Kaiserslautern, Fruchthallstraße

The newest building in the Kaiserslautern city center.

The parking lot I'm standing on will soon be history. Kaiserslautern is planning a large shopping mall ("Stadtgalerie") in the city center, right next to this new building.

In the last 10 - 15 years all larger department stores in the pedestrian area closed.
The city is expecting a very large number of customers to find their way back into the city center.

At the moment city officials and citizens' groups are debating about the size of the mall. Planned are 28000 square meters for selling space.

The mall will entirely change the heart of Kaiserslautern, if it's being build. We'll see.
