Welcome to Marbach

Code: 00

Hello, and welcome to Marbach, the “Schillerstadt”, a typical, medieval style town in beautiful, southern Germany, whose origins go back about 1,200 years. Between the river Neckar and hills with many vineyards Marbach was the perfect place to build a village. It grew rapidly due to this good position. Later it was not only the trade which made Marbach popular, rather it was literature that has shaped the city.
Today Marbach has the best of both worlds, wherein historic buildings coexist with the very modern. Apart from friendly people and nice shops, there are a lot of sights awaiting you:
the historical old city, Friedrich Schiller’s birthplace, the tower and many old half-timbered houses, the wonderful Alexander church and last but not least the literary museums and archives, which are situated in a scenic park.
It’s hard to believe that this beautiful town, tucked safely in the German countryside, is a mere half hour from the industrial city of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg.
So enjoy your experience in Marbach, and we hope that our fair city finds a special place in your heart, as it has in ours.
