Gisonenweg 5, 35037 Marburg
The Open Air Kino Marburg on Gisonenweg offers summer screenings in a university town where the tradition of gathering outdoors to share ideas -- in beer gardens, on castle terraces, along the Lahn -- is deeply ingrained. The setting, with the medieval Oberstadt rising behind and the river valley stretching below, lends even a lighthearted summer comedy a certain atmospheric weight. Marburg's microclimate, sheltered by the Lahn valley walls, makes outdoor cinema more reliable than the Hessian latitude might suggest. It is a seasonal extension of the town's year-round passion for narrative in all its forms.
