Kassel
Kassel is first mentioned in documents from 913. See its ancient heritage at ://www.abnachkassel.de/en/history.php/. In 1943, British bombers destroyed 90% of the city, most not rebuilt in the old style, but as 1950's. Urban renewal was not helpful - the traffic pattern is hard to follow, but we appreciate the stresses and urgency to rebuild something.
We were interested in The Brothers Grimm Museum. See www.kassel.de/. There are photo galleries at images.google.com/images?q=kassel+germany&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-28,GGGL:en&sa=X&oi=images&ct=titl/ See how the Tales of the Brothers Grimm have been changed over the years, see in particular the Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel posts at Migratory Patterns of Tales.

There was an illustration silhouette exhibit at the time. If it is part of the permanent collection, do not miss the woodcuts and meticulous, cuticle-scissor-minutely detailed, silhouette-work used as illustrations for the fairy tales, see www.nationalgeographic.com/grimm/article, in black, gray, white, and sometimes a tiny yellow in a castle window. That is where she waits.

That might have been a roving exhibit and no longer there. We do not recall the artist, the superior snipper.

Nearby is a park that had labeled certain trees that survived the bombings in WWII. It is strangely moving to see them still there.
