Marburg only assumed importance from 1228, when Elizabeth of Thuringa settled here and began her selfless mission tending the poor and sick. In 1235, just four years after her death, she was canonized and the Teutonic Order embarked on the construction of the early Gothic church of St Elizabeth. Due to the pilgrims who came from all over Europe to visit Elizabeth&#8217;s tomb, Marburg&#8217;s ecocomy flourished. In 1539, however, wishing to halt this pilgrimage, the Protestant landgrave Philip the Magnanimous of Hesse-Marburg had Elizabeth&#8217;s bones removed from the church.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6005\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6005\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/marburg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartahistorica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/marburg.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.cartahistorica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/marburg-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cartahistorica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/marburg-215x139.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6005\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Its castle, today Marburger Universit\u00e4tsmuseum f\u00fcr Kulturgeschichte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Kassel commented by Braun<\/h2>\n<p><em>&#8220;Kassel, the noblest town in Hesse, so called on account of its fortified castle; for formerly, it is said, only a palace stood there.

First mentioned in records in AD 913, the town evolved out of a castle, from which it also derives its name.
