The Altstadt (old city) of Marburg stands on a steep hill overlooking the River Lahn. Houses, shops, public buildings and churches are packed one against the other. What stood out to me was the vast variety of doors, from merely utilitarian to ornate and artistic. Here is a sample.
































Hello Craig and Barbara,
I’ve always loved doors for their symbolic as well as actual value. These ausgezeichnet images of the “Doors of Marburg” are in themselves works of art made even more unique in that they were fashioned (I assume) by mostly unknown craftsmen. Fortunately, we know the artist who framed them in his camera. Thank you for this focused assembly of eye-opening portals.
