History
When a group of Kaiserslautern business people purchased the area of what is known as the PRE Park from the Federal Government in June of 1997, the former Holtzendorff Kaserne could already look back on more than 60 years of military history:
The barracks built in 1937/38 by the German Wehrmacht were taken over by the French after the war, until 1992.
The new usage concept of the PRE GmbH is based on complete restructuring and new development: After the history, the beginning of a success story...
