Kingdoms of Germany - Hesse Created from the division of the Duchy of Hesse, Kassel was the largest of the four new Hessen states, being the most senior and dominant, and owner of approximately half the former duchy's lands. Rumpenheim Castle in Kassel was named after it, and during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the rulers of Hessen-Kassel attach this name to their title, without their being any apparent division of the territory. Further sub-dividing of Kassel and Darmstadt eventually leads to splinter states such as Hessen-Homburg, Hessen-Rumpenheim, Hessen-Philippsthal, Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld, Hessen-Eschwege, Hessen-Rheinfels, Hessen-Rheinfels-Rotenburg, Hessen-Rheinfels-Wanfried, Hessen-Butzbach, Hessen-Brubach, Hessen-Darmstadt-Itter, Hessen-Marburg, and Hessen-Hanau, and ultimately to political obscurity for all of Hesse by the eighteenth century. www.kessler-web.co.uk /History/KingListsEurope/GermanyHesse.htm   (2961 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hesse The Catholics of the government district of Kassel and those of Bockenheim, one of the wards of the city of Frankfort, belong to the Diocese of Fulda; the remainder belong to the Diocese of Limburg. Hesse was separated from Thuringia, and, after a long struggle with other claimants of the title, Henry established his authority as Landgrave of Hesse. Hesse therefore took part in the negotiations of several German states, which resulted in the erection of the ecclesiastical province of the Upper Rhine by the papal Bulls "Provida solersque" (1821) and "Ad Dominici gregis custodiam" (1827). www.newadvent.org /cathen/07298c.htm   (2436 words)

Vessels and vacancies: in a career that lasted barely 10 years, Eva Hesse moved with remarkable speed from the brooding self-portraits of 1960, through biomorphic drawings and collages, into the tragic, absurd and strikingly original sculptures for which she is now best known.

Hessen-Kassel Article On Philip's death in 1567, William received one half of Hesse, with Kassel as his capital; and this formed the landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel. Hesse was surrendered to the federal diet; the federal forces collected the taxes, and all officials who refused to recognize the new order were dismissed.

Hesse-Cassel By and large, these developments in Kassel showed an uncanny parallel to those in Berlin, with the obvious difference that in Hesse-Kassel popular demands aimed at broadening the existing constitution whereas Prussia's constitution had yet to be written. As in 1830, the call for change was perhaps loudest in the city of Hanau: dissatisfaction with the electoral government fanned local agitation on behalf of either outright secession or the unification of all three Hessian states under the rule not of Kassel, but of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt. On September 12, Hesse-Kassel's highest court ruled these measures to be unconstitutional; the next day Friedrich Wilhelm abandoned his capital for his residence in Wilhelmsbad near Hanau. www.ohiou.edu /~Chastain/dh/hessek.htm   (1617 words)

Sylvester Jordan Alas, the Kassel government--as of February 1850 again headed by Jordan's old nemesis, Ludwig Hassenpflug--abandoned the union in May 1850, and Jordan found himself unemployed. He was roundly denounced as a reactionary by Carl Theodor Bayrhoffer (1812-88), a politician of a younger generation and leader of the democratic left in the Kassel legislature, who, like Jordan before him, had taught at Marburg. Fearing for law and order--and probably its own safety--the new government in Kassel sought to identify and shore up those moderates which it could find, if only to stave off more radical elements. www.ohiou.edu /~Chastain/ip/jordan.htm   (1106 words)
