Kassel is a city with over 1,100 years of colourful history and a very promising

future. The city has become a modern centre for the service sector while at the

same time retaining a robust industrial base, and together with the local region has

become a platform for the energy challenges of the future. An endearing and very

liveable city, Kassel is bucking demographic trends and growing each year

thanks in part to an increasing student population. Home to

the DOCUMENTA exhibition and one of Germanys greenest cities, Kassel also

offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and leisure activities, a

high QUALITY OF LIFE and some really great parks and gardens. Our city is

characterized by its openness to the world and a range of cultural offerings that no

other German city of a similar size can match.

I look down on the hustle and bustle of Knigsstrasse our pedestrianized area. It

offers a large range of shops, pleasant places to stop and take a break, services of

all kinds, a whole host of restaurants and cafes, not to mention numerous cultural

venues.

As is often the case with clichs, they may be a grain of truth in them, but ultimately they are still clichs rehearsed for years and confirmed by powerful images like the Munich Oktoberfest. But pork hocks and litre tankards of beer arent part of an average persons daily menu in Germany. In fact Germany isnt even in the worlds top ten when it comes to eating meat. The USA heads the rankings with 120 kilograms per person per year. Germany manages 88 kilograms. And the trend is falling. Per-capita consumption fell by two

kilos in 2013. More and more people are looking at the quality of the meat; in case of doubt they would rather pay more and consume less. At the same time, there is a growing group of people who renounce meat and prefer a vegetarian or vegan diet. A heightened awareness of breeding conditions and production methods goes hand-in-hand with the desire for a healthy lifestyle.

In and at our new Grimm World a fairy-tale exhibition house devoted to the

Brothers Grimm. Grimm World is to be found on Weinberg hill in Kassel and is

surrounded by picturesque urban parkland. There is a wonderful view of the

southern part of Kassel from the roof terrace there. The Grimm World exhibition

comprises multimedia elements, experience zones for children, valuable exhibits

from Kassels Grimm collections including the original handwritten manuscripts

of the Brothers Grimms Childrens and Household Tales, which are listed on the

UNESCO Memory of the World Register and fascinating ways to access the

world of knowledge and ideas of the Brothers Grimm.

The roundel at the river Fulda a round artillery fortification which dates back to

1523 and formed part of Kassels City Palace. There is a fantastic view of the river

Fulda from there, and of the rebuilt lower new town. And behind it is the regional

administrative authority where I was district president from 1996 to 1999.

At one of the many FESTIVALS we celebrate here in Kassel for example at the

Wehlheider Kirmes fair or the Zissel, a festival that takes place by and on the river

Fulda. The Zissel is a good opportunity to do what the locals do watch the

processions and get caught up in all the fun activities taking place along the banks

of the river.

The thing about beer also needs correcting. Germans arent world champions in

this field; theyre not even European champions. That distinction goes to the

Czechs, who drink an average of 144 litres a year. The Germans are lagging behind

with an annual per-capita consumption of 107 litres. And consumption is falling at

the rate of about two litres per person per year. Instead, the Germans are turning

more and more to mineral water, of which they drink almost 150 litres every year.

The Germans cant even maintain their image as potato kings. They eat about 60

kilograms a year, which is no comparison to Russia (250 kilos) or Ukraine (200

kilos). Bringing up the rear in the consumption rankings is, in fact, South America,

where the potato originally came from. Kassel is a city with over 1,100 years of

colourful history and a very promising future. The city has become a modern

centre for the service sector while at the same time retaining a robust industrial

base, and together with the local region has become a platform for the energy

challenges of the future. An endearing and very liveable city, Kassel is bucking

future. The city has become a modern centre for the service sector while at the

same time retaining a robust industrial base, and together with the local region has

become a platform for the energy challenges of the future. An endearing and very

liveable city, Kassel is bucking demographic trends and growing each year

thanks in part to an increasing student population. Home to

the DOCUMENTA exhibition and one of Germanys greenest cities, Kassel also

offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and leisure activities, a

high QUALITY OF LIFE and some really great parks and gardens. Our city is

characterized by its openness to the world and a range of cultural offerings that no

other German city of a similar size can match.

I look down on the hustle and bustle of Knigsstrasse our pedestrianized area. It

offers a large range of shops, pleasant places to stop and take a break, services of

all kinds, a whole host of restaurants and cafes, not to mention numerous cultural

venues.

In and at our new Grimm World a fairy-tale exhibition house devoted to the

Brothers Grimm. Grimm World is to be found on Weinberg hill in Kassel and is

surrounded by picturesque urban parkland. There is a wonderful view of the

southern part of Kassel from the roof terrace there. The Grimm World exhibition

comprises multimedia elements, experience zones for children, valuable exhibits

from Kassels Grimm collections including the original handwritten manuscripts

of the Brothers Grimms Childrens and Household Tales, which are listed on the

UNESCO Memory of the World Register and fascinating ways to access the

world of knowledge and ideas of the Brothers Grimm.

The roundel at the river Fulda a round artillery fortification which dates back to

1523 and formed part of Kassels City Palace. There is a fantastic view of the river

Fulda from there, and of the rebuilt lower new town. And behind it is the regional

administrative authority where I was district president from 1996 to 1999.

At one of the many FESTIVALS we celebrate here in Kassel for example at the

Wehlheider Kirmes fair or the Zissel, a festival that takes place by and on the river

Fulda. The Zissel is a good opportunity to do what the locals do watch the

processions and get caught up in all the fun activities taking place along the banks

of the river.
