Facts and practical information

The former Kilian's Chapel was built in the Romanesque style between about 1180 and 1200 as the market chapel of the parish of St. Martin in Oberweimar. It is thus the oldest preserved building in Marburg's core city, located at the Schuhmarkt on Reitgasse in Marburg's upper city, not far from the Old University. On April 16, 1227, Marburg became an independent parish, but St. Kilian's Chapel was not the main parish church of the town, which grew in the 13th century. After the Landgraves of Hesse donated the parish of Marburg to the Teutonic Order in 1243, the city gained rights to the parish in the 14th century.
