The Kassel tramway network is a 93.3-kilometer (58.0 mi) network of tramways,[1] forming part of the public transport system in Kassel, a city in the north of the federal state of Hesse, Germany. As of 2014[update], the Kassel tram network is made up of seven regular tramlines.[2]
Opened in 1877 as a steam tramway from Wilhelmshöhe the Königsplatz (Royal Square), the network has been operated since 1897 by Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (KVG), and is integrated in the Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund (NVV). The track gauge is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge. There existed also a narrow gauge network to the Hercules monument. The network was extended gradually into the surrounding area, partly as conventional tramways, and partly as a tram-train RegioTram network.
