Landstuhl (German pronunciation: [ˈlantʃtuːl]) is a town in the Kaiserslautern district of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. It is the seat of Verbandsgemeinde Landstuhl, a kind of collective municipality. Landstuhl is situated on the north-west edge of the Palatinate Forest, 11 miles (18 km) west of Kaiserslautern.
Landstuhl – A Historic City
Landstuhl has a rich past which can be traced to Celtic times. Several sites and discoveries confirm the presence of Roman soldiers during the past. In the Middle Ages, the area consisted of 12 farms and was the property of the Bishop of Worms.
The establishment of the German Reich brought wealth to the city, along with the foundation of several breweries and factories. The city was known as a spa resort due to rich mud found around the previously wooded area surrounding Landstuhl. The mud baths healed women suffering from female diseases or arthritis.
WORLD WARs I & II At the end of World War I, the German soldiers who died in the war were buried in a small cemetery near the chapel in downtown Landstuhl.

March 29, 2022 Hi Olga
My mother, Pelagia Pelesko, was a displaced person moved to Landstuhl after the war and I have quite a few pictures that may be of interest. She also told me a lot about her time there before she came to England.
If you would like to see the pictures and know more I am happy to share them with you. I have attached a couple of the pictures. In the wedding photo my mum is behind the bride and groom.
Best regards, Tad Stone tadeuszstone@gmail.com
