Historic half-timbered houses in Marburg's Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The Upper Town (Old Town) really has a large number of historically beautiful half-timbered houses to offer. Even if you leave the main path you will find beautiful half-timbered houses in the sometimes very narrow streets.

March 14, 2024,Wanderung durch Marburg Stadt

A city walk through Marburg. The half-timbered houses, everything runs beautifully parallel!
The Luth. Parish church was very beautiful! The organ in the university church even played for us. Conclusion: Marburg is a beautiful city, more than worth a visit.

May 27, 2022,Marburg. Die Oberstadt, das Südviertel, Weidenhausen und den alten botanischen Garten entdecken

Today I expanded my radius a bit and strolled through the neighboring beautiful neighborhoods.
Down on the Lahn is the Südviertel, it's more spacious, the streets wider, there are individual cafés, organic shops and it's just nice to look at.
On the other side of the Lahn is Weidenhausen, with the great old willow houses.
On the way back I …

July 21, 2025,Marburg auf alten und neuen Wegen

Last stop today in Marburg. I studied here from 2002 to 2008. So, I started by following familiar paths and then, thanks to Komoot, discovered completely new views. Many things evoke old memories, some are unrecognizable, and I've never been to the Kirchspitze viewpoint before! I'd barely ordered dinner on the market square when it started to rain heavily. The …

September 13, 2022,Marburg an der Lahn - Entdeckungstour Rundweg

It's a good thing that we made a stop in Marburg. And the planned two hours turned into around five. This lively university town, shaped by students, inspires with its historic buildings, medieval half-timbered houses and wide panoramas. We only stayed west of the Lahn. Here is the old town in the upper town as well as the Landgrave's Castle, …

This year's autumn vacation began with sightseeing in Marburg. The number of photos, which already represents a shortlist (🤪😅😜...), clearly shows: a visit to this beautiful city is worthwhile, and many cozy cafés and restaurants invite you to linger.

The historic Hessian university town is on our way to Rhineland-Palatinate.
We want to spend the golden autumn here, more precisely …

March 31, 2024,Runde in Marburg: Von der Elisabethkirche zum Schloss und zurück an der Lahn

I was out and about in Marburg on Easter Sunday in beautiful, sunny weather. First we went from the Elisabeth Church to the university library and then through the passage of the beautiful colorful house from the Pilgrimstein to the Steinweg. (The passage is exactly opposite the library). On Steinweg you can admire the heads of the “Wolf and the …
