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