Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg, Medieval building near Market Square in Marburg, Germany

Wolfsburg is a building on Landgraf-Philipp-Straße 2 at the corner of Ritterstraße, directly above Marburg's Marktplatz and below the castle. The site held farm buildings in the 14th century; the present house was later called Berlepscher Hof. A garden gate from the neighbouring house of Catharinius Dulcius survives. Today it serves as the house of the Turnerschaft im CC Schaumburgia.

In the 14th century the plot held only farm buildings, owned by the von Bicken family and recorded in 1381 as lying above the Kerner. It passed to the von Hose family, and on 13 April 1386 Volpracht Hose sold it to the von Hachen family as a barn. By 1514 it belonged to Dr. Schmuck, and in 1525 Margaretha von Grifte sold the house to Caspar von Berlepsch for 158 gold guilders; it was then called the Berlepsche Hof into the 19th century.

The house's name probably comes from the lawyer Peter Wolff, who acquired the neighbouring house of Catharinius Dulcius after 1626; whether the name Wolffsches Haus or Wolfsburg was already in use then cannot be proven. Today the building is the Verbindungshaus of the Turnerschaft im CC Schaumburgia, and the former entrance gate to the garden of the Dulcius house is preserved.

The Wolfsburg stands at Landgraf-Philipp-Straße 2, at the corner of Ritterstraße, a cobbled, traffic-calmed lane in the Oberstadt directly above the Marktplatz. The same street continues uphill to Marburg Castle, so the house lies on the walking route between market and castle.

The name may come from the lawyer Peter Wolff, who inherited the neighbouring house in 1640; whether "Wolfsburg" was already in use then cannot be proven. The garden gate of the Wolfsburg is a remnant of the house of Catharinius Dulcius, a Savoyard professor of modern languages (1540–1626).
