"Rathaus" Kassel Off The Beaten Path Tip by Nemorino

When Kassel and Wirtheim were merged in 1970 to form the town of Biebergemünd, neither village wanted to give the impression that it had been taken over by the other, so they built a new town hall here in the Bieber Valley about halfway between the two villages.

The building also includes a bowling alley, a meeting hall (Bürgerhaus or "citizens' house") and a "yawningly empty" (to translate the German expression) Chinese restaurant. The waitress actually came out to meet me when I cycled up, and was very disappointed that I didn't want to eat there. She hadn't had a customer all day, evidently.
