Photo.Spectrum.Marburg
Cultural Highlight of Photography
Every March, Marburg also becomes a city of photography. The internationally renowned photo festival Photo.Spectrum.Marburg presents over 40 events on the theme of photography for an entire month. Traditionally, exhibitions are just as featured as photo walks, lectures, cinema films, guided tours, etc. The main event always takes place on the 2nd weekend in March with the Marburg Photo Days.
