The following areas below are to be avoided in Kaiserslautern due to the possibility of violent demonstrations this coming Saturday. Although the assessment indicates a low possibility of violence by the Polizei, past PEGIDA events have quickly turned violent whenever counter demonstrations were also planned/present.

On Saturday, 30 January 2016, precise time not yet known, the Kaiserslautern "Patriotische Europaer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes" is planning a demonstration march through downtown Kaiserslautern, rallying at the "Alte Post am Hauptbahnhof". Preceding the march, a self-appointed "vigilante force" will patrol the downtown area. At approximately 1300 on the same date, left wing activists will demonstrate at Am Altenhof, in front of Stiftskirche //MGRS: 32UMV1094977581// in Kaiserslautern against right-wing demonstration. After the demonstrations in Kaiserslautern, left-wing activist planned to travel to Homburg, Germany by train to disrupt a demonstration in Homburg, further information in Paragraph 2.B. below. HNLE expectation of violence at both events was assessed as LOW.

At approximately 1700 on 30 January 2016, the group "Saarlaender gegen Salafisten" will demonstrate in the area surrounding the Hauptbahnhof. The purpose of the demonstration is "Protect our women from sexual assaults". Expectation of violence was unknown.
