The city owes its name to the fact that the border ("mar [c]") between the territories of the landgraves of Thuringia and the archbishops of Mainz used to run here. The outstanding sights in Marburg are the Elisabeth Church, the Old University, the Landgrafenschloss and the old town below, which is called "Oberstadt" in Marburg.

Don't think twice, just drive there and enjoy the nature on the Lahn in summer. There are many beautiful places in Hesse, the places on the banks of the Lahn are one of them.
