The Rondell, built in 1523 in Unterneustadt on the Fulda, was a defensive tower that formed part of the old fortifications of the city. Landgrave Friedrich II had the largest parts of it removed in the eighteenth century. The 15-meter-high domed space, with its nearly 10-meter-thick walls, can only be entered via a floating metal footbridge. Since the year 2000, there has been a beer garden in the Rondell; one room inside the Rondell serves as an exhibition space.

The interior of the Rondell hosts an installation by Nguyễn Trinh Thi - see the next page.
On the Walter-Lübke-Brücke there is a work by Nhà Sàn Collective on display.
This bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, which connects the districts of Mitte and Unterneustadt, was renamed only about a year ago after Walter Lübcke, the district president of Kassel, who was murdered by right-wing extremists in 2019. In renaming the bridge, the city was also responding to the controversy around the Nazi past of its former mayor, Karl Branner, after whom the structure was named in 2000.
