"If the Brothers Grimm were to travel to Kassel today ... they would not come to a romantic city. Too much of old Kassel was destroyed in the Second World War for that." - (Hans Eichel, former Lord Mayor)
Kassel has a reputation for being an ugly city full of 1950s architecture and modern art. It is best known for the documenta - one of the world's largest exhibition series for modern art, which takes place every five years - and the Bergpark with Hercules, the city's landmark. However, Kassel also has a lot more to offer. As the home of the Brothers Grimm - the founders of our science - Kassel is particularly interesting for Germanists. As a student of the University of Kassel, you are also automatically a holder of the "Kulturticket", which gives you free or discounted admission to many places. In addition to the established museums, Kassel also offers a wide variety of subcultural and student cultural events. Here are a few tips that might be of particular interest to German studies students.
