  • Date: 09/30/2026
  • Time: 18:00
  • Place: UNI:Lokal, Wilhelmsstraße 21
View of Obere Königsstraße and Königsplatz in Kassel

The exhibition is presented by students from the University of Kassel’s Institute for Urban Development, who spent a semester examining Kassel’s pedestrian zone from various perspectives.

The pedestrian zone is a cornerstone of urban planning from the 1960s and 1970s. Since its inception, it has weathered many changes and crises, from smog alerts in the 1990s to the financial crisis of the 2000s. The exhibition focuses on Königsplatz as the central square of the city center, but also examines the development of traffic, individual buildings, and the shops in the pedestrian zone. The exhibition traces the various phases of the pedestrian zone’s development.

The exhibition runs through October 2, 2026.
