history
In the amendment to the Reichsgewerbeordnung dated June 24, 1897, the following was standardized: “Chambers of craftsmanship are to be established to represent the interests of your district.” As a result, chambers of craftsmanship were established across the empire and in 1900 in Kassel as well. On April 1, 1943, the Gauwirtschaftskammer Kurhessen was formed and the Chamber of Crafts dissolved. In addition to the Chamber of Crafts, the Kassel Chamber of Commerce and Industry was incorporated into the Gau Chamber of Commerce . After the Second World War , the Chamber of Crafts was rebuilt.
