Kassel centre: Part 2





Just before the main centre square is another one called Friedrichsplatz. These photos I took myself.
My old friend Don Halward wrote that he remembers a square with littles cafés and stores (or something like that). This one has lots of both, and they extend along most of the street.
I noted the banner on the north side announcing the Brothers Grimm festival. This is significant to me because of the brothers' huge influence, not only the systematic presentation and dissemination of German fairytales, but on German language teaching, literature, and literacy itself. Much of their work was done in Kassel, and other parts of Hessen.
