Thank you for sharing a part of my family's heritage 😊. Where my brother and daughter were both born in that little College town in Germany, makes me homesick 😊😢. But I love the memories of walking those cobble stone streets. I miss everyone walking everywhere and getting out in the fresh air and greeting one another.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I have been going through old video footage and pictures I took back in 2015 and trying to make videos out of it. It is challenging! My wife and I are heading back to Germany in about 5 months. My skill as a videographer has improved a little since 2015 so there should be some good content coming up. Until then, we are back out making Searching for History videos more locally, here in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for watching and thank you for subscribing!

Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment! We are happy you enjoyed it. We have other videos about the places we have visited in Germany: ua-cam.com/play/PL8C7l9Lm40bwn48VsWlu_sd3e9zpH5KxT.html
Looks nice. I'm an American now living in Erlangen for 8 years and finally starting to get out and travel Bavaria a bit. Just got back from Rothenberg ob der tauber. Must add this place to our list.
Marburg has a pretty cool old town. It is very much worth a visit. It is not as high on the preserved medieval half-timbered awesomeness scale of Rothenburg ODT but still pretty cool. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, glad you like the video. I have been to Germany many times. If you have any specific questions about Hesse or elsewhere in Germany that come up during your trip planning, I may be able to answer them. 🙂
@@searchingforhistory Good to know. I have visited Germany several times, mostly in the South, and lived there. Trying to plan future trips to the parts I have not seen yet.
Sorry, being an American based UA-cam channel that only visited Marburg while on vacation, we have no idea. Hopefully someone that is in the know will respond.
I believe the entire town was turned into a hospital during the war, so you may be on to something. I think it was an assumption on our part that war damage is the reason the original stained glass is missing from the church windows. If not from war damage, I wonder what happened to it? Thanks for leaving a comment!
There was war damage in Marburg, and also war dead (a couple of hundred civilians). However, the old city was never hit hard, and never burned. Heaviest damage was in the area around the main train station and the area in between there and Saint Elisabeth church, many houses were so badly hit they were taken down after the war. There wasn’t any noteworthy heavy industry in or around the town, which helped saving it from destruction. I am still lacking any Allied documents on the attacks, however by damage assessment and reports about the attacks I figure it was more like tactical attacks or opportunistic bomb load releases, rather than dedicated strategic strikes as conducted on neighboring cities like Giessen (Giessen was hit hard multiple times, the old city burned to the ground), Wetzlar, and Kassel (Kassel burned to the ground, too).
@@alexhunter0815 Not far from Marburg. My wife and I really love visiting Germany. If you happen to watch some of our other Germany videos, let us know what you think.
I was a student in Marburg in the academic year 1964-1965 and the city was like a beautiful fairy-tale dream.
It is a beautiful town. Wonderful memories. Thanks for watching!

I don’t think there was any war damage from WWII in Marburg. 4:29

My Mom said that the Allied planes would drop their leftover Bombs on the Railways in Marburg as they returned home from their Missions.
