  • Aerial view of the city of Kassel, featuring a sweeping view of residential and commercial buildings with red-tiled roofs, nestled amidst lush greenery. In the background, rolling hills stretch out under a slightly cloudy sky.
  • The image shows a multi-story building with a light facade and a red tiled roof, surrounded by well-tended trees and shrubs. Several dormer windows are located on the roof. A paved path leads to the building's entrance.
  • Several people stand at a viewpoint, gazing at a vast landscape with dense forest and a city in the background. The people are seen from behind, drawing the focus to the impressive view.
  • A teenager climbs an indoor climbing wall with blue holds, secured by a harness. Other people can be seen in the background, including a supervisor or trainer, observing the climber. The wall is equipped with colorful climbing holds in blue, green, and red.
  • The picture shows a well-kept courtyard of a building complex with beige facades and red tiled roofs. Several windows, some with small balconies, line the buildings. Benches and tables under shady trees invite you to linger.
  • The image shows an impressive view from the Hercules Monument in Kassel. In the foreground is a historic stone staircase with a circular platform surrounded by weathered, partly jagged stone structures. Behind it stretches a green park landscape with paths and trees, merging into the distance into a cityscape and rolling hills.
  • Two people are sitting on the floor in an interior, intently gazing at sheets of paper with text or drawings. One of the people is wearing some kind of cape, which could indicate a creative or playful activity. In the background, chairs and other people are visible, also part of the scene.
  • The image shows an ornate fountain with several jets of water cascading down a rocky structure. A high jet of water rises in the center. To the right of the image is a statue depicting a human figure holding an object.
