Learn more about Old Town

Climb the steep, cobblestone streets of this medieval university town where half-timbered houses lean together like old friends sharing secrets. The Gothic St. Elizabeth Church and 13th-century Town Hall transport you to another era while students from the Alte Universität bring youthful energy to ancient squares.

Marburg is located on the banks of the River Lahn in Hesse, Germany. The statue of top of the column is St George slaying the dragon. When I visited the musicians were giving a fine performance of the song “Feelings”. One of Marburg’s most important institutions is Philipps University.

While in Marburg I notice a number of visually impaired people walking with guide sticks. The Philipps University has a number of courses that are designed for people with disabilities.

When is the best time to go to Old Town?

This period is particularly good for couples seeking a romantic and relaxed getaway.
