Am Stern is the name of a square and traffic junction in the city center of the north Hessian city ​​of Kassel .

The square in its current form was created during the reconstruction period in the 1950s. It is characterized by a high volume of traffic through private and public transport , as well as a large number of different restaurants and retail establishments.

An extension of the B 7 , which leads from the north into the city , meets here through Untere Königsstraße on Landesstraße 3237 on the so-called Kassel inner city ring. The Am Stern public transport stop is served by all lines of the Kassel tram and several central bus lines.
