Areas of operation in Kassel

Kassel connects the international art world, strong industry, and one of Germany's most important railway hubs – each area with its own security requirements.

01

Art, Culture & documenta

Every five years, the documenta makes Kassel the center of the international art world – with exhibitions at dozens of locations throughout the city, hundreds of thousands of visitors, and worldwide media attention. Even in years without the documenta, significant events take place at the Fridericianum, the Kongress Palais, and in public spaces. We discreetly and thoroughly secure exhibition spaces, open areas, and event locations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kassel

What clients from Kassel and North Hesse ask us most frequently - answered directly and without further ado.

Can you ensure the security of the documenta and other art events in Kassel?
Yes. The documenta is one of the most complex events we can secure: many locations spread throughout the city, public open spaces, and an international audience. We create a site-wide security concept, conduct preventative sweeps, and coordinate with event management. For events of this size, we recommend contacting us several months in advance.
Can you secure industrial sites like the VW transmission plant or Krauss-Maffei Wegmann?
Yes. We have experience securing industrial sites – including in sensitive areas such as the defense industry. Our teams coordinate with your plant security, work according to an agreed-upon plan, and do not interrupt ongoing operations. We offer both individual deployments and regular inspection intervals.
Can you secure the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe train station and the public space?
Yes. We support authorities and private security services in the preventative security of train stations, shopping centers, and public spaces – especially during large events or increased threat levels. We coordinate directly with the police and regulatory authorities and adapt our operational concepts to the respective requirements.
How quickly can you be ready for deployment in Kassel?
From our location in the Harz mountains, we can be ready for deployment in Kassel in approximately 90 minutes. Kassel is a bit further from our location than Hanover or Braunschweig, which is why we recommend advance notice of at least 48–72 hours for planned deployments. For emergencies, we are available 24/7 and coordinate deployments as quickly as possible.
Can you also provide security for Christmas markets and smaller town festivals in Kassel?
Yes. We adjust the team size and deployment concept to the respective event size. We also create a structured security concept for smaller events – without unnecessary effort, but with the necessary thoroughness. Simply contact us, we will find a suitable solution.
What distinguishes MK9S from other providers in North Hesse?
The difference lies in the background: Our founder has over 16 years of experience in the German Armed Forces (EOD), is a former police bomb disposal expert, and is currently a lecturer at a university of applied sciences for police in the field of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD). This means: Our security concepts are based on real operational experience – not theory. We know the threat situations from practice and speak the language of the authorities.
