Lutherische Pfarrkirche Marburg

The Lutheran Parish Church Marburg is a Gothic hall church with three naves and a prominent western tower from the late Middle Ages. The interior displays the characteristic architecture of the period with high vaults and defines the appearance of Marburg's skyline.

The foundations were laid with the Gothic choir from 1297, with the nave expanded during the 14th century. The western tower was built between 1447 and 1473, completing the structure.

The church has served as a central gathering place for the Protestant community in Marburg since the Reformation. Regular services and musical performances here shape the religious and cultural life of the city.

The church is accessible daily and offers visitors the chance to explore the interior spaces and attend regular events. Note that access may be restricted during services and concerts.

The wooden spire shows a noticeable lean and twist caused by centuries of weather exposure. This tilted peak is a defining feature that makes Marburg's skyline instantly recognizable.
