From 1952 to 1971, 451 American infants who died at birth or shortly after birth at the American military hospital in Landstuhl or at nearby civilian hospitals were buried in the Kaiserslautern main cemetery (Waldfriedhof) adjacent to Daenner Kaserne.
The Kaiserslautern Kindergraves Memorial Foundation was established in 1986, and its purpose is to maintain the memorial site, organize ceremonies in remembrance of the children and be a conduit of information for family inquiries.
Representatives from the Ramstein Area Chief’s Group and the German-American and International Women’s Club serve as co-chairs for the foundation. The KINGZ MC is made up of a very diverse group of riders. The group has Army, Air Force, active-duty, Reserve, civilian, American, German, male, female, riders and non riders. The KINGZ are extremely active in Kaiserslautern community events, with the U.S. military as well as with the local German communities.
Each year, the club donates money for one U.S. military organization and one German organization. The money they donate comes from the various fundraisers the club sponsors throughout the year. Events such as the Bike and Car Wash, their opening of the Motorcycle Season Party and their closing of the Motorcycle Season Party are what make it possible to give back to local communities.
“The other element that makes this all possible is the fact that the KINGZ have terrific sponsors. Without our sponsors, none of this would be possible,” said Gabe Bearthes, KINGZ MC Germany president
The KINGZ MC would like to say thank you to the following sponsors: Cullmans Diner, Cantina Mexicana, Metzgerei Ofori, The POLO Shop Kaiserslautern, Bau Firm FK Horn, Schlüsseldienst Schmitt, Pariser Str. Car Wash, United Service Organizations, the Defense Commissary Agency, Werbetechnik, AIU Thayer Insurance, Motorcycles America and all those who come out to support the KINGZ.
