Kassel is the city of the Grimm brothers who gained world fame with their fairy stories. As the landgrave´s librarians, they also discovered here Germany´s oldest literary work, the "Song of Hildebrand". Every five years, the largest international exhibition of contemporary art - the "documenta" - is held in Kassel. Kassel is well known for its parks, castles, statues, waterfalls and lakes.
