Welcome to "boom town" Kassel, a combination of urban culture and pure nature - museums, art, culture, sports, leisure activities, mountains, lakes, and forests as far as the eye can see. At the same time, Kassel is well-connected to Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and the Rhine and Ruhr regions. Kassel is home to approximately 200,000 people and looks back on more than a thousand years of history as the former capital of "Hessen-Kassel". Today Kassel is a vibrant, young town with a rich heritage.
