The Medieval City Of Marburg An Der Lahn In The Morning With The Town Hall, Half-timbered Houses And Old Streets In Hesse, Germany Editorial Image

Marburg is located in central Hesse, roughly halfway between Frankfurt am Main and Kassel, around 77 kilometers as the crow flies from both cities. The neighboring university town of Giessen is about 27 kilometers to the south. In terms of landscape, Marburg lies in the Marburger Bergland, a southwestern foothills of the Burgwald, which is broken through by the Lahn valley in a north-south direction. To the west it borders with the Elnhausen-Michelbacher Depression and the adjoining Damshäuser Kuppen directly on parts of the Gladenbacher Bergland and thus on the Rhenish Slate Mountains, to the east the Amöneburg Basin follows, which also has a share in the city limits.[3]
