Marburg Hotel, Heritage-listed hotel in Marburg, Australia

The Marburg Hotel is a two-story timber building with a corrugated iron roof and full-length verandahs at the corner of Queen and Edmond Streets. The upper floor features French doors opening onto the verandahs, paired with traditional sash windows that remain from the original design.

Weigand Raabe, a Marburg farmer and Walloon publican, had the single-storeyed hotel built probably in early 1881, and by June 1881 races and sports were held there. After Raabe died in 1883, his widow Auguste renewed the licence and married Otto Sakrzewski, who raised a £600 mortgage in 1890, when the second storey may have been added. The hotel has operated continuously since 1881 and was a highway landmark from 1923 to 1969.

German settlers cleared farms from the dense Rosewood Scrub in the early 1870s, and by late 1885 the district held about 5,000 people. The hotel has been part of Marburg's social and recreational life since 1881 and sits in a precinct with the former Queensland National Bank and First World War memorial, now the community centre.

The hotel is located near Ipswich and remains easily accessible as a landmark in the area. Its corner position at the street intersection makes it straightforward to find and view from outside.

The hotel has stayed Marburg's only hotel since 1947, and the Bowden family has held the licence since around 1944, acquiring the freehold in 1986. From 1923 to 1969 the Brisbane–Toowoomba highway ran through Marburg, making the hotel a landmark stop for travellers.
