Castle Rauischholzhausen is located approx. 15 km away from
Marburg and 40 km away from Gießen. When coming from far away, best is to take a flight to
Frankfurt/Main and from there a train to Marburg (approx. 90 minutes). Train connections to Marburg inside
Germany are via Frankfurt or Kassel - see the
railroad timetables of Deutsche Bahn for details.
Detailed travel instructions Frankfurt Airport -> Marburg Hauptbahnhof
On Sunday afternoon (20.08.2023) at 4:30 p.m., a bus
organized by us will leave
from Marburg Hauptbahnhof and bring you directly to the Castle. Since there are no
parking opportunities for a bus in front of the train station, the bus will leave accross the
ARAL Gas Station under the motorway bridge (red arrow and red cross on the map below): when leaving
the train station, turn left once you reach the motorway bridge (this street is called "Krummbogen") and look
for the Gas Station / buses waiting under the bridge. Here are a few pictures (click to enlarge):
Talks will start on Monday morning after breakfast and end on Friday
afternoon after coffee. After the end of talks,
there will again be a bus leaving from the Castle at approx. 4 p.m. to Marburg train station (Hauptbahnhof).

By public transport: Due to its location in the country side, the Castle is rather difficult to reach by public transport solely. We recommend to take a train to "Marburg Hauptbahnhof" and share a taxi to Castle Rauischholzhausen in case you cannot take the bus (not very expensive). If you're feeling adventurous, here is how to come by public transport:
- Get to Marburg Südbahnhof, bus platform A1: about half of the trains coming from Frankfurt stop there anyway, otherwise take one of the buses from Marburg Main Station.
- On work days: Take bus MR-81 [link to time table] to "Rauischholzhausen" and get off at "Ebsdorfer Grund-Rauischholzhausen Zimmerplatz" (this is right at the entrance of the Castle). Check the time table first, there aren't many buses.
- On Sunday, there is a "bus on demand" (AST - allgemeines Sammeltaxi) leaving from Marburg Südbahnhof at 13:11, 17:11, and 21:11, but you need to call 60 minutes in advance at 06421 / 405 1717 (fits a maximum of 8 people). Again, get out at "Rauischholzhausen Zimmerplatz".
By car: If you are coming from the south, drive to Gießener Nordkreuz on the ring highway around Gießen. Leave the highway and take B3 direction Marburg until Fronhausen/Ebsdorfer Grund. Pass the villages Hachborn, Ebsdorf, Heskem, Wittelsberg until Rauischholzhausen. From the north: drive directly to Marburg. Take the road "Großseelheimer Straße" over the Lahnberge (the same as to Campus) and leave at the exit "Kirchhain / Klinik Sonnenblick", then follow the signs to the villages Schröck und Roßdorf. Drive through both, the road will then lead you directly to Rauischholzhausen. In Rauischholzhausen, the signs "Schloss" will lead you to destination.
