It is also possible to have your shopping bag stored here and pick it up again at the end of your visit. The scent of hearty soups, stir-fried dishes or bratwurst invites guests to stay and enjoy local specialties. Ramstein stores are open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Musical entertainment is provided as well. The city of Ramstein as well as local vendors and exhibitors are looking forward to welcome you!
For the first time the market will be the occasion for the Stefan-Morsch-Foundation to carry out a typing campaign. From noon to 5 p.m. healthy adults aged between 18 and 40 years can register as potential donors for stem cell transplantation in the entrance area of Congress Center Ramstein. You can give a saliva sample and that way possibly help a person suffering from leukemia. Take the chance to save other people’s lives and get registered as a stem cell donor with the Stefan-Morsch-Foundation!
