Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund
Rainer-Dierichs-Platz 1

The Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund (NVV) is based directly in Kassel's main railway station.
This is located on Rainer-Dierichs-Platz (former name: Bahnhofsplatz). Since 1995, the main railway station has also been known as the KulturBahnhof or ‘KuBa’ for short. The NVV is a neighbour to many cultural and artistic initiatives, an arthouse cinema, the well-known Caricatura exhibition, conference centres, agencies, galleries and studios. An exciting place.
