Betzenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fritz Walter Stadium on the Betzenberg

The Betzenberg (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛt͡sn̩ˌbɛʁk] ) is a 285-metre-high hill[1] in the German city of Kaiserslautern. It rises about 50 metres above the city and gives its name to the quarter in which it stands. It was well known because it also gave its name to what is now the Fritz Walter Stadium (formerly the Betzenberg Stadium or, colloquially, the Betze).

The Betzenberg lies south of Kaiserslautern Central Station and the main railway axis from Ludwigshafen to Saarbrücken. The southern end of the Betzenberg transitions into the Palatine Forest.
