Public transport in Kassel: bus lines 500 and 50 sweep back!

Public transport in Kassel: bus lines 500 and 50 sweep back!

On Saturday, March 8, 2025, there are significant changes in Kassel's local transport. The one -way regulation on the A49 in the area of ​​the south tangent is canceled. This not only affects traffic on the highway, but also has an impact on the bus lines of the Verkehrsverbund North Hesse.

The two -year detour of the 500 bus line, which runs from Kassel to Bad Wildungen, is discontinued. From the start of operation on March 8th, line 500 will drive again on its original line path in both directions. The stops include, among others, Wilhelmshöhe, Achenbachstraße, Hauptbahnhof, Rathaus/Fünffensterstraße and Auestadion as well as the A49.

timetable changes and contact points

The travel times of line 500 correspond to the times that applied until 2022. Detailed information on the current timetable is on the website of the NVV to find nvv.de/fahrtinfo. The timetable can also be accessed directly via this link . Passengers can use the NVV app or the NVV information for current information.

The bus line 50, which runs from Baunatal-Hertingshausen via Kirchbauna and Rengershausen to Kassel-Mattenberg, their route guidance will be retained. This line also serves the main gate of the VW plant and the Mattenberg stop, where there are connections to tram lines 3 and 7. Similar information options are available for the current timetable on line 50, and passengers can find out more about the NVV offers.

construction sites and further adjustments

The current blocking of the Landesstraße 3150 between Gudensberg and Fritzlar-Werkel remains. Line 500 will therefore be redirected by the A49 between Gudensberg and Fritzlar by summer 2025. This is due to construction work that irrevocably affects traffic in the area of ​​the Kassel-West to Lohfelden motorway junction. The A49 is closed in the direction of Kassel by the end of 2023, which leads to long detour routes.

The stops for line 50. From April 2023, important stops such as Kassel, Harvestweg and Kassel, riot police are no longer approached. Line 50 has its new end point at the Kassel, Mattenberg stop, which limits the change options on Dennhäuser Strasse. Passengers are asked to find out about alternative connections, including about Schaddel .
