Landstuhl, Medieval municipality in Kaiserslautern district, Germany

The town extends across 15.34 square kilometers at the northwestern edge of the Palatinate Forest, surrounded by dense woodland at 248 meters elevation.

The construction of Nanstein Castle began in 1152 under Emperor Frederick I, becoming a fortress that Franz von Sickingen later transformed during the 15th century.

The municipality maintains strong international connections through partnerships with Pont-à-Mousson in France and Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg in Germany since 1967.

The town contains over 100 organizations and associations, offering residents access to comprehensive educational facilities, medical services, and shopping establishments.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, positioned on Kirchberg, operates as a primary United States Army medical facility serving military personnel in Europe.
