Location
Marburg is a small University City (~60 000 inhabitants, ~ 20 000 students) with a medieval old town around a historical castle. It is located 100 km north of Frankfurt which means easy access from Frankfurt International Airport (about 1 ½ hours by train).
For the meeting we have reserved the main lecture hall (Alte Aula) in the “Old University” which is built on a former monastery where Marburg University started almost 500 years ago as the first protestantic University in the world (still the place for the Faculty of Theology). We are actually celebrating the 500th birthday of it’s founder, Landgraf (Earl) Philipp (the Magnanimous) and also the centennial of Marburg’s most important company, the “Behring Werke” which was founded by Marburgs most famous scientist, Emil von Behring, the first Nobel price winner in Medicine.
Here you can find some more information about famous people from Marburg like Landgrave Philipp, Emil von Behring, as well as Saint Elisabeth and the Grimm Brothers.
