Philipps-University of Marburg
Phillipps-University of Marburg was founded in 1527 by Philipp, Landgrave of Hesse. This is the world’s oldest Protestant university, with about 19,000 students.
Marburg is one of Germany’s four major university cities and was primarily established around the universities and the people who work and study there. Marburg is a small, but lively city in the heart of Germany, known for its many stairways and alleys. The city’s old buildings and areas have been utilised to create new and interesting gathering spots and venues for cultural and social events. Typical for Marburg is the presence of the city’s history alongside a younger scene of students, artists and filmmakers.
