Treppenstraße, Pedestrian street in Kassel, Germany.
The Treppenstraße stretches 300 meters through central Kassel, incorporating a series of steps that overcome a 15-meter elevation change between street levels.
Inaugurated on November 9, 1953, the Treppenstraße emerged during Kassel's post-World War II reconstruction as Germany's first designated pedestrian-only street.
The street features Italian-style flower beds along its path and currently houses the Obelisk monument by Olu Oguibe, installed in April 2019.
Numerous shops, cafes, and restaurants line both sides of the street, while public transportation stops provide easy access for visitors.
The street's innovative design from 1953 established new standards for urban planning, connecting the main railway station to Friedrichsplatz through a series of pedestrian cascades.
