Is Kassel Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kassel

It's pretty safe as long as you avoid certain areas like "Am Stern". But overall it's a really safe environment, just the usual "being afraid in the dark" sadly every woman knows. But that isn't specifically because of Kassel, it's because of men in general.

Kassel is generally safe, especially during the day. Like in many cities, there are a few areas where it’s good to stay alert – for example, around Am Stern or the main train station, especially at night. It’s not dangerous in a dramatic way, but things can feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Other parts of the city are much calmer and totally fine to walk around, even alone.

I have been living here for almost a year and no incidents to mention so far. I frequently walk home at night and I never felt not safe doing so. I also haven't witnessed any harassments in public so far.

There is one area you should avoid at night: „Am Stern“. Everything else is fine, if you go partying I would say it’s the „normal“ level of danger women experience in clubs/bars. But overall safe during the day for sure, during the night just the normal awareness.

Kassel is a very chill city I feel save in most of the times. But it also depends on the district you are in. But Kassel is called the happiest city of germany and even if I don’t know if this is true the people here are friendly for Germans ;)

I feel Kassel like being safe, I live next to the Hauptbahnhof and I come very often Home at 1.00 in the morning, and I never experienced something bad happening to me. Sure I don’t go to the Clubbing Area, but I never experienced something so bad. I had some Catcalling, but being an Italian, I am used to far worse behaviour and I say I mostly feel respected. The town has also introduced a system of Shuttels called “ Schaddel” you can call and there’s also a cheap Taxi called “Minicar” that gets you easily Home at night.
