    St. Jacob Hospital, Weidenhäuserstr., built in 1570, builder Ludwig, the 4th Landgrave of Hesse, socially committed, underlines this by having the basement built from sandstone. Sandstone was expensive and only affordable for nobles and rich patricians. Before 1570 there was a pilgrims' hostel on the site.
    Weidenhäuserstr. Is the only old town street. on the left the Lahn, one of the oldest districts of Marburg.
    Translated by
    The pastor of the Lutheran parish church of St. Mary had to give a sermon every two weeks.
    The cemetery for the two infirmaries was laid out in 1598 at the latest, possibly on the site of a former cemetery.
    It was occupied until 1952 and secularized in 1956.
    In the 19th century, the chapel became the property of the St. Jakob Hospital Foundation, while the Protestant church retained the right of use.
