Marburg in focus: Sport promotes health and community for everyone!

In Marburg the importance of sport and health promotion is highly valued. Exercise promotes physical health and mental well-being and also strengthens togetherness. Sport gives children important experiences that are essential for their development. The city of Marburg is active in promoting sport, which is reflected in the large variety of around 150 clubs that offer more than 50 different sports. The city also supports the construction and maintenance of numerous sports and leisure facilities and offers open exercise opportunities for all age groups.

Another aspect of health promotion in Marburg is the offer for people with heart disease. The sports group, which takes place in the gymnasium of the Sophie von Brabant School (formerly Friedrich Ebert School) at Uferstraße 18, focuses on safety and health in everyday life despite existing heart disease. These sports units take place on Thursdays from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and are offered by VfL 1860 Marburg. Heart sports have been organized here for men and women since 1976.

Health offers in Marburg

Participation in the cardiac sports group is possible at any time, but only after clinical or rehabilitation treatment. Correctly dosed physical exertion supports the restoration of performance. Anyone interested can also take part in these events without a doctor's prescription. Information about other health-related offers and events is also easily accessible in the city of Marburg.
