description: "In 2019, the Kassel artist Jackules designed the building on Wilhelmshöher Allee. It refers to Kassel's world cultural heritage - the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales. The façade on Hupfeldstraße shows the brothers' likenesses.  The front of the house features a depiction of the fairy tale \"The True Bride\". For the photo-realistic portrait, the artist took his then girlfriend and now wife as a model. In the scene depicted, the shepherdess is waiting under a linden tree for her future husband. Fitting, as Wilhelmshöher Allee is planted with lime trees and leads to the Bergpark. Anyone standing here at the busy intersection now has a view of the two Kassel world heritage sites, as they once adorned the 1000-mark note together.The project was designed and realised on behalf of GWH Wohnungsgesellschaft."
