Marburg where I Spent the Most Magical Years of My University Life

When I heard Tony Leung was coming to film in Marburg, I couldn’t help but dig up these old photos—memories came flooding back! 🏰 Why Marburg Feels Like Hogwarts • Philipps-Universität Marburg (founded 1527!) – Lecture halls with vaulted ceilings, ancient wooden desks, and the kind of atmosphere where you half-expect Dumbledore to walk in 🧙♂️ • Secret staircases and hidden courtyards – Perfect for pretending you’re in the Marvelous Marburg House (instead of Gryffindor 😉) • Schloss Marburg looming over campus – More castle than university, tbh 🏰 📸 My Favorite Spots (Then & Now) 1️⃣ Marktplatz at Dawn – When the morning mist makes the half-timbered houses look straight out of a medieval manuscript ✨ 2️⃣ Lahn River Walks – Where we’d skip lectures to picnic by the water (and occasionally fall in 🚣♀️) 3️⃣ The "Harry Potter" Library – Old leather books, creaky ladders, and that smell of centuries-old paper 📖 4️⃣ Schlosspark Sunsets – Watching the golden light spill over the rooftops like liquid honey 🍯 🎬 Tony Leung, Welcome to Our Fairytale! Now that Hollywood’s discovered Marburg, maybe they’ll finally: • Cast the castle as a villain’s lair (it’s got the drama!) • Film a rom-com chase scene through Oberstadt’s twisty alleys • Let students be extras (we’ve perfected the "studiously brooding" look 😎) 💭 Why I’ll Always Love This Town It’s where: • First loves happened under linden trees 🌳 • Late-night kebabs tasted like Michelin stars (exam delirium helps 🥙) • Every season was magic – Autumn leaves in the Schlossgarten, winter snow on the Reitgasse… #MarburgMemories #UniversityDays #GermanFairytaleTown #CastleLife #TonyLeungInGermany #HogwartsVibes #StudyAbroadLove
