Marburg is a picturesque town in the state of Hesse, Germany, known for its rich history and vibrant university atmosphere. The town is home to Philipps University of Marburg, founded in 1527, which is one of the oldest Protestant universities in the world. Marburg's medieval architecture is a significant draw, particularly the stunning Landgrave Castle that overlooks the town from a hilltop. The old town, with its narrow streets and half-timbered houses, offers a charming glimpse into the past. Additionally, the Marburg University Hospital is renowned for its medical research and facilities.
