Irish writer Samuel Beckett visited Kassel eight times between 1928 and 1932, visiting his cousin and first love Peggy, and spending many weeks in the city. This central Biergarten is a great place to grab a Guinness, Kilkenny, or a glass of organic wine, or have some sandwiches, Flammkuchen or Ahle Wurscht sausage. The local Samuel Beckett Society also organises various events and concerts.
