More than just a facade!
The fact that the "Vordere Westen" is one of the most popular residential areas of the documenta city is mainly due to the many well-preserved buildings that you can admire here. With their richly decorated facades, towers and bay windows, they are a real eye-catcher. Especially around the Goethestern you will find some real architectural jewels that you would like to move into immediately. Also worth seeing is the impressive neoclassical portal of the Kassel Stadthalle and the Kongress Palais. By the way, both the district and the Stadthalle can be traced back to the well-known Kassel entrepreneur Sigmund Aschrott. He also created the idyllic Aschrott Park, which you can find in the far west of the district.
