Shipping to Kassel and northern Hesse
Kassel lies close to the geographic centre of Germany, in northern Hesse, and is known for the documenta art exhibition and the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. Its central position makes it a convenient collection point for consignees between Hanover and Frankfurt.
Choose Kassel for northern Hesse, southern Lower Saxony around Göttingen and western Thuringia. The cargo is unloaded at a North Sea port and carried to Kassel by land, so the consignee does not need to arrange a separate delivery from the coast.
Kassel is on the A7, A44 and A49 motorways, so the drive to most parts of central Germany is short. Commercial shipments to the region often include parts for the rail and automotive industries, while families moving here ship household goods for the university and research institutes. Collect promptly after customs release to avoid storage fees.
During documenta, held every five years, the city is busy with visitors.
