The Mathildenhöhe area was founded in 1899 to become “a focal point of Art Nouveau and European art development. Created with the aim of reforming art and life, the work of the artists' colony expressed the dawn of modernity through experimental architecture, new spatial art and pioneering design.” In 2021 it was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site for its influence in the reform movements of the early 20th century.

As part of our tour of cultural and historical sites, we’d like to invite you to an excursion to Marburg. During a guided tour (in English), we will get to know important landmarks of the city such as St Elisabeth's Church and the old town up to Marburg's Landgrave's Castle. Important personalities such as St Elisabeth of Thuringia, the Brothers Grimm, Martin Luther, Emil von Behring and Martin Heidegger have lived in Marburg. Most of them were students or teachers at Philipps University, which was founded in 1527.  It is the world's oldest university of Protestant origin still in existence.

The guided tour takes about 2 hours and we will be walking uphill a lot! Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to round off the day with a nice (and optional) get-together.
