Guided Story

Standing here at the Altmarkt, right by the Fulda River, you can feel the essence of Kassel's history. This square was once the city's bustling center. After World War II, it was fundamentally transformed and inaugurated as a major transport hub on August 26, 1957. This change turned the Altmarkt into a vital junction of urban life. To your southwest, just 118 meters away, is the Brüderkirche. A bit further south, you can find the Walter-Lübcke-Brücke, which spans the Fulda. The Altmarkt is where the past meets the present, a testament to Kassel's resilience and evolution.
