University Church of Marburg, Gothic university church in Marburg, Germany.
The University Church of Marburg features a distinct two-aisled hall design with both aisles reaching equal heights and a polygonal choir with three panel windows.
Founded in 1291 under Henry I of Hesse for the Dominican Order, the church transformed into a Protestant institution during the Reformation of 1527.
The church maintains its connection to academic traditions through regular university ceremonies, professor memorial services, and educational functions within Philipps University.
Visitors can enter the church through two entrances: the west gate leads directly to the nave while the north gate provides access to the side aisle.
The church exhibits an asymmetrical layout due to spatial limitations that prevented the construction of a planned southern aisle, resulting in buttresses placed inside the building.
