The population is the sum of the field “Bevölkerung, insgesamt” (positions 140–150) on every Satzart-60 row with this Kreis key. The Satzart-40 row does not print that sum. The file notes set the population reference date at 31 December 2025 (2022 census). Territorial status of the file: 30 September 2026.

The dataset description in the same zip labels text code 44 as “Landkreis”. That description is headed 14 June 2000 and is shipped with the August 2026 edition.

Election

The statistical office of Hessen prints, in its table of direct elections, the row “Wahl zur Landrätin bzw. zum Landrat im Landkreis Kassel” with the date 07.03.2027. That page does not name the current officeholder and does not print a previous polling day. This page does not publish candidacies, polls, or a result of that election.

Office

Gap. GV100AD does not name a Landrat, a Landrätin, an Oberbürgermeister, or an Oberbürgermeisterin. No federal official list of those people was read on 18 October 2026. The text code describes the unit, not the title of the person in office.
