| Standard-gauge trams in the German city of Kassel, seen on 16th March 2006. The city's tramway remains characterised by the reservation in the long and broad Wilhelmshoher Allee, dominated at its end by a steep wooded hillside and the Wilhelmshohe Castle, topped by the Herkules monument. This was the route followed by the first tramway in Kassel - a steam tramway opened in 1877.
