Category: Kassel

Kassel is a city with nearly 200.000 inhabitants in northern Hesse. It is located in the center of Germany and is often seen as gray and boring – that is especially because the city has been massively destroyed in World War II (the city center was erased, 92 % of the area was bombed). But it is also a city of art especially with the documenta art exhibition happening every five years.
