The Old-Town of Marburg
Marburg is located on the banks of the River Lahn in Hesse, Germany. The statue of top of the column is St George slaying the dragon. When I visited the musicians were giving a fine performance of the song “Feelings”. One of Marburg’s most important institutions is Philipps University. While in Marburg I notice a number of visually impaired people walking with guide sticks. The Philipps University has a number of courses that are designed for people with disabilities.
