Hessencourrier, Heritage railway association in Kassel, Germany.

The Hessencourrier manages a collection of historic trains, including four steam locomotives and several passenger cars dating from 1894 to 1956.

Founded in 1972, the association began with two passenger cars from the Kassel-Naumburg narrow gauge railway, expanding its fleet through preservation efforts.

The association trains its own locomotive engineers, stokers, conductors, and ticket inspectors, maintaining railway operation traditions through volunteer work.

Visitors can access the railway at the old Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe Süd station, located 150 meters from the main Kassel Wilhelmshöhe station.

The organization maintains an original passenger car from 1894, which features in their logo and represents the earliest example in their collection.
