kassel - pronounced - - castle

currently working in Kassel, a small-ish feeling city.

[insert wikipedia reserach time]

population 200,000.

you can call it large as well, depends on your view of a city, town, village, mega-region..what have you. in this country, the stadt  : town & city translation : will make its way to a big-city when it reaches 100,000 inhabitants. towns are considered to be having at least 50,000 inhabitants. There are a few world cities in Germany as well -- Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart and Cologne. interesting topic: world and global cities.

well, that was a tangent. sheesh, no deleting now. i got kind of interested but need to be back on topic and keep this short as there is a lot of work to be doing in the current days of this symposium we are at. to see more of what is going on in kassel, please venture

 to DOCUMNETA 

also,above is a map for you

this compares the university of virginia with the university of kassel, but clearly UVA is taking over the majority of the city. scale...wow!
