Kilianskapelle, Romanesque former church in upper town Marburg, Germany.

The Kilianskapelle stands at Schuhmarkt 4 near Reitgasse, featuring thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a half-timbered upper floor added in 1580.

Built between 1180 and 1200 as a market chapel for St Martin parish, this structure represents the oldest preserved building in central Marburg.

The building served multiple functions through centuries: religious services, guild hall for shoemakers, city scales location, school, orphanage, and police station.

The structure now functions as student accommodations following extensive renovations by the municipal housing company GeWoBau, completed in October 2013.

An inscription at the main entry arch bears the signature 'Godescalcus me fecit', revealing the name of the original builder.
