Stiftskirche - Kaiserslautern, Germany - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Die geschichtlichen Wurzeln der Stiftskirche gehen - wie könnte es anders sein in Kaiserslautern - auf Barbarossa zurück, der an dieser Stelle ein Kloster errichten ließ. Nachdem dieses Prämonstratenser-Kloster 1511 aufgelöst worden war, entstand hier zunächst ein weltliches Stift, das zwar nur bis 1565 existierte, doch bis heute noch im Namen weiter existiert.
Die Stiftskirche entstand auf den Mauern eines Vorgängerbaues. Mit dem Chor wurde der älteste Bauabschnitt Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts fertig gestellt, während das Langhaus - ein hochgotischer Hallenbau mit schmalen Seitenschiffen - erst zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts angebaut wurde." (visit link)

"The historical roots of the Collegiate Church lead back to (and how could it be different in Kaiserslautern) Barbarossa who had a monastery built in this place. After this praemonstratensian monastery was closed in 1511, there was a secular monastery which only existed until 1565, but which continues to exist until today in name.
The Collegiate Church was built on the walls of a previous building. With the choir, the oldest construction section was completed at the end of the 13th century whereas the nave - a high gothic hall construction with narrow side vessels - was not built until the beginning of the 14th century."
