"Marburg - the creative little model city” - that is how a newspaper in Gießen a little enviously titled its portrayal of Marburg’s cultural life. Whether the cultural scene in Marburg is exemplary in every way is something for others to judge.

Indeed, the city is stimulated by an endless and spirited source of creativity and ideas - and that in a broad range; from classical music to off-theatre, from museums and archives to open-air festivals, from literary circles and socio-cultural centres to the multiple prize-winning cinema programme.

Professional patrons of the Arts, broad volunteer involvement and lively public interest ensure continuous and dynamic development of this "creative little city”. But perhaps you might want to judge for yourself…
To portray culture in Marburg accurately would of course require countless websites, links and attachments. We have compiled the most important branches as well as the municipal facilities from the Office of Culture to the city library.
