Kassel reads like a former princely seat that never quite stopped being one. The thick Aristocrat bench is the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel and their sprawling extended family, the Art Historian depth is documenta and the museum culture it seeded after 1955, and the disproportionate Architect count belongs to the slow rebuilding of a city almost completely flattened in 1943.
