Safety issues lead to 45-day ban on nightclub
Safety issues lead to 45-day ban on nightclub

European edition, Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Because of safety concerns, the U.S. military has placed a Kaiserslautern, Germany, nightclub that is popular with Americans off limits to active-duty members.

The ban on patronizing Stage Club and Lounge started Friday and is in effect for 45 days, according to Ramstein Air Base spokesman Aaron Schoenfeld.

The restriction comes as local military leaders and safety experts conduct a comprehensive safety review of off-base clubs and bars, Schoenfeld said. More establishments could be banned in the future, he said.

"It’s part of an effort to ensure the overall safety and well-being of (Kaiserslautern military community) personnel," he said.

The concern with Stage Club and Lounge, which is in Einsiedlerhof, stems from overcrowding.
