My walk

Today I did a walk around the upper part of the Wilhelmsallee and the trainstation Wilhelmshöhe

Around the Stadthalle

The Stadthalle in Kassel is a prominent event and concert venue located in the heart of the city. With a seating capacity of over 3,000, it hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, conventions, and cultural performances. The modern architecture and excellent acoustics make it a popular choice for both local and international artists. Additionally, its central location and proximity to other attractions make it a convenient and accessible place for entertainment in Kassel. Looking forward to see a nice rock gig on my next visit at the Stadthalle.

Where people have more than just a home

A nice public garden „GARTEN PROJEKT AUF DEM HUTTENPLATZ“

On an approx. 1,280 sqm large, unused lawn, the Huttenplatz in Kassel's Vorderen Westen, a fascinating urban community garden has been created in the middle of our neighborhood. The garden is located in a centrally located residential complex dating from 1915, below the Stadthalle/Kongress Palais Kassel.

The project was initiated by the artist group "AND AND AND" in the context of dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012.

The basic idea of the garden is to promote the idea of community, to bring the neighborhood together and to counteract anonymity and loneliness.

The community garden is an open area, you are welcome to look and spend time there. If you would like to garden and harvest with us, we would be happy to welcome you to our group.
