The statue of Hercules in Kassel is a landmark building here. It is located high up in the famous Wilhelmshöhe Park. He is the most famous strongman in Germany. He has a very agile figure and overlooks the entire Kassel from a high vantage point. His figure can be seen in any corner of Kassel. It is definitely worth everyone's worship.
