Kassel Government Region, Administrative division in northern Hesse, Germany.
The Kassel Government Region is an administrative division spanning northern Hesse with seven districts under central management. The territory encompasses numerous towns, villages, and rural communities, each maintaining their own local character and governance.
The region was formed in 1866 when Prussia annexed the former Electorate of Hesse as part of establishing the Province of Hesse-Nassau. This annexation set the foundation for its current administrative structure.
The area hosts major contemporary art exhibitions, particularly the Documenta festival that attracts artists and visitors globally. Local communities throughout the region maintain their own traditions while the main city serves as a center for artistic exchange.
The area is organized through a network of municipal and district offices scattered across various towns for governmental services. Spring through fall offers the most pleasant conditions for visiting, with better weather and local events throughout the region.
The region generated a GDP of 50 billion euros in 2022, contributing 1.4 percent to Germany's total economic performance.
