The way to the top
From the Lahn river, through the historical old town and up to
the castle: That's 100 m elevation, two upper town lifts and 400
step. Even the Brothers Grimm joked that in Marburg, there are
"more steps on the streets than in the houses".

Tip by the lord mayor Dr Thomas Spies The university town of Marburg is like a history book written over the course of the centuries. And right in the middle of the historic market square, you will find the representative town hall [6] – as the centre of social, cultural and political life. For more than 400 years now, the amusing spectacle can be seen and heard here every hour, on the hour: The cock raises its wings to the croaking tin trumpet signal of the messenger on the Renaissance gable of the town hall.

bered houses and venerable churches – Marburg's old town invites

Grimm, Martin Luther or Nobel prize winner Emil von Behring.

6 SIGHTS AND ATTRACTIONS
Elisabeth church
The construction of this earliest, completely Gothic, hall church
on German soil began in the year of the canonization of Elisabeth
of Thuringia (1235). The church, which was built by the Teutonic
Order above the tomb of Saint Elisabeth, was consecrated in
1283 and became an important place of pilgrimage in the late
Middle Ages. To this very day, the protestant parish church is an
outstanding monument of religious architecture and the destina-
tion of many tens of thousands visitors every year.
Apart from the tomb of the Hessian landgraves, the golden
Elisabeth shrine, which is richly decorated with precious stones,
is also impressive. The stained glass windows show the life of
Saint Elisabeth and her works of mercy and are considered
among the most significant examples of Gothic glass work.

Castle of the Landgrave
The founding residence of the Hessian landgrave house was built
as a landscape crowning spur castle on the so-called Gisonen
rock. The early stages date back to about 1000, making the castle
of the Landgrave one of the earliest high-altitude castles in Ger-
many and marking the starting point for Marburg's development.
Castle of the Landgrave, princely residence, fortress – the Gothic
and late Gothic complex with Renaissance annexes represents
a unique, multi-faceted history. An important part of the castle,
which is now owned by the university, houses the Museum of Cul-
tural History, with collections on the prehistory and early history
of Hesse, religious art and bourgeois urban living.
In summer, the beautiful castle park, the town festival "3 Tage
Marburg" and the open-air cinema on the castle park stage are
attractions for locals and visitors alike.

Philipp University of Marburg
Founded in 1527 by Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous, thus
making it the world's first Protestant university, the university,
with its around 26,300 students, has shaped the life of the town
today. As a classic comprehensive university, Philipps-Universität
offers more than 100 courses of study. Natural sciences and
medicine are mainly located on the hills “Lahnberge”, while the
other faculties are located in the city. The new university library
[17] was opened in 2018 on the new campus area surrounding
the Old Botanical garden [18] .
Between 1873-91, the old university [5] was built by Carl Schäfer in
neo-Gothic style on the foundations of the Dominican monastery,
dating back to the late 13th century. The old auditorium [20] in
this building, with its large-format historical paintings by Peter
Janssen, offers a unique insight into the history of the university
town of Marburg.

of the Broken Glass on 9 November 1938. A tactile model of the
