From around 1641, an "Imperial Post Office" existed in Kassel, which was converted into the Hessian-Kassel State Post Office in 1667. In 1906, the then Kassel Post Office Directorate moved into the "Old Main Post Office" building and used it until the end of 2020.

Parwein operated the Imperial Post Office from 1641 to 1667.
Until 1943, Kassel housed the regional postal headquarters, which was then replaced by Frankfurt am Main.
Postal operations ceased in 2020.
Since then, an Irish pub and the private IU University of Applied Sciences have occupied the site.
