Kassel hosts Volkswagen’s Baunatal component plant (transmissions and electric drives), Deutsche Bahn’s largest ICE maintenance facility and B. Braun (medical technology). Every five years, documenta also makes it an international art centre.

Kassel as a business location

Kassel is one of Hesse’s strongest industrial and research centres. Volkswagen’s Baunatal component plant, with over 16,000 employees producing transmissions and electric drives, is one of VW’s largest worldwide. B. Braun Melsungen, a global medical technology business, is headquartered in nearby Melsungen with strong links to Kassel. Deutsche Bahn’s ICE maintenance facility, the largest of its kind, and the Wintershall Dea legacy shape local industry. With the University of Kassel, Fraunhofer IWES and documenta, one of the world’s leading art exhibitions held every five years, Kassel combines industry, research and culture.
