Giessen

The River Lahn defines the setting of Giessen — its banks, footpaths and bridges bring a green corridor through this university city in central Hesse. Giessen is home to Justus Liebig University, founded in 1607, and carries the name of the chemist Justus von Liebig, who taught here and helped establish modern chemistry as an experimental science. The city’s urban fabric also reflects extensive postwar rebuilding after severe wartime destruction. The Mathematikum, an interactive mathematics museum, adds a distinctly scientific note to the centre.
