The second largest city in the Republic of Slovenia. German name is Marburg. It is the political, economic and cultural center of the northeastern Stajerska province. It has a population of 108,944 (2002 census preliminary figure). It is located on the Drava River. It originated as a settlement in the Roman era and developed as a key transportation hub, a distribution center for goods, and a fortress against foreign enemies. In the Middle Ages, it was incorporated into Austria and became known as Marburg. It was connected to Vienna by rail in 1846 and developed rapidly, and after World War I it became part of Slovenia. It produces wine and timber, and has factories for automobiles, agricultural machinery, and electrical appliances. There are universities, museums, broadcasting stations, publishing companies, theaters, and art galleries scattered throughout the city. It is worth seeing the 12th century cathedral (rebuilt in the 17th century), the town hall (16th century), the plague column from 1743, the old castle (15th century) used as a museum and hall, and the synagogue (Jewish church).
