Kassel Germany

Kassel is the regional "capital" of North Hesse in Germany. Kassel has been first mentioned around 900 AD. Since then it has always been a provincial capital for the realms of North Hesse or Kur-Hesse. Kassel became a considerable industrial and scientific city as can still be seen in the Orangerie museum where loads of scientific kit from the enlightenment period is on show. Noticeably the first steam pot producing a fountain was constructed in Kassel by Papin and rumors have it that he left Kassel in his steam boat a few years before James Watt got his prototype into shape. Kassel was home to the famous Grimm Brothers who wrote a lot of the fairy tales Disney uses today. The house that they lived in was made into a museum with a lot of interesting artifacts. The most important sites to see in Kassel are: Herkules and Bergpark. Schloss with its old masterpieces of art. Orangerie and Karlsaue Documenta: The world’s biggest art exhibition Friedericianum museum Kassel Tourist Information City Tours available.
