Japanese: マールブルク - まーるぶるく(英語表記)Marburg an der Lahn
Marburg an der Lahn

A university town in the state of Hesse in central Germany. Population 77,400 (2000). The old town is located on the right bank of the Lahn River, on the slopes of Schlossberg Hill, with the Hesse Duke's castle (built around 1122) at the top. The medieval streetscape is well preserved, with many narrow alleys and stone steps. The University of Marburg, which inherits the tradition of being the oldest Protestant university in Germany (founded in 1527), is scattered throughout the city, and has campuses for the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine on the left bank (east bank) of the Lahn River. St. Elisabeth Church (built in the 13th century) in the northern part of the old town is Germany's oldest Gothic church. Industries include pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, iron processing, and printing.
