Kaiserslautern, which was one of the German cities where the World Cup took place in 2006, will offer public viewing of all games with the German national team.
A big screen will be put up on Boschplatz, across from the Westpfalz Police Headquarters (in front of the viaduct near the main train station).
The area will be fenced in and open three hours before the games. For security reasons, visitors are not allowed to bring any glass containers. There will be controls when walking in. Various catering stands will offer food specialties and beverages.
The first game on the big screen will be the opening game at 4 p.m. today with host South Africa playing Mexico. The first game featuring the German team playing Australia will be showed at 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
The German national team will be showed on the big screen during the following games: at 1:30 p.m. June 18 against Serbia and 8:30 p.m. June 23 against Ghana.
Possible dates for the eighth final are: at 8:30 p.m. June 26 or 4 p.m. June 27.
The quarterfinal is scheduled for July 2 and 3 and the semi final is scheduled for July 6 and 7. The start of the World Cup final will be at 8:30 p.m. July 11.
City officials have initiated a glass ban for several areas in the center of town until Oct. 31. No glass or glass bottles are allowed in the Altstadt (old part of town), around the city hall and the Pfalztheater, on Schiller- and Stiftsplatz, and on Synagogenplatz.
“Pieces of broken glass lying everywhere look bad and our citizens and visitors of our town can get hurt,” said Deputy Mayor Dr. Susanne Wimmer-Leonhardt. “Members of the Office of Public Order will strictly supervise the no glass areas.”
The glass ban is also valid for all city parks and playgrounds. Restaurants and pubs with outdoor seats are exempt from the ban.
