Bus company in Marburg, Hessen
Renting a bus in Marburg: the university town on the Lahn has an old town you have to see and alleys no coach fits through. That is exactly why you need a driver here who knows where groups get off and where the bus waits. Around 78,000 people live in Marburg, almost a third of them students. BELAHMER REISEN is a bus company serving Marburg for culture groups, school classes, clubs and university excursions: with local knowledge and a fixed price. The Oberstadt is the destination: steep stairways, timber framing, the Landgrave Castle high above the town. Coaches stop below at the designated points; from there the way up is on foot or via the public lifts. We plan the drop-off so your group climbs as little as possible, and agree with the tour guide where the walk ends so the coach is already waiting there. The Elisabethkirche belongs in every itinerary: the earliest purely Gothic church on German soil, begun in 1235 above the tomb of Saint Elisabeth. For parishes and culture societies it is often the reason for the whole trip. Together with the castle, the Oberstadt and the Grimm trail commemorating the Brothers Grimm's student years, Marburg easily fills a day. The Philipps University has shaped the town since 1527 as the world's oldest university founded as Protestant. Around 22,000 students mean department trips, end-of-term outings, conference visits and field excursions. We drive university groups to conferences in other cities just as we bring visiting groups into Marburg. School-leaver groups from the region also like to visit before choosing where to study. Clubs and companies from Marburg itself use us for away trips: the football weekend, the company outing to the Edersee, the Christmas party in Frankfurt. The late-evening return is part of the plan and the driver waits at the agreed spot. Nobody has to drive after the party. Marburg sits on the A485 with a link to the A5. From our base in Katzweiler near Kaiserslautern it is about 170 kilometres, a good two hours. Day trips from the Palatinate and the Rhine-Main region are comfortably feasible, with an optional stop in Giessen or Wetzlar. For your quote, the date, route and passenger count via the inquiry form are enough. You receive a fixed price with tolls, fuel and driver included. If your group has special requirements, say an extra stop or luggage for a multi-day trip, just add it to the message. We answer specifically, not with boilerplate.

Häufige Fragen
Route, duration and group size set the price. A day trip from the Rhine-Main area costs less than one from the Palatinate, and a plain transfer less than a full-day booking with waiting time. You receive a fixed price including tolls, fuel and the driver. The inquiry is non-binding.
No, the lanes of the Oberstadt are too narrow for coaches, which is exactly their charm. Buses stop at the designated points in the lower town. From there you reach the Oberstadt on foot or comfortably via the public lifts. We plan the drop-off point to match your route.
Yes. We take university groups to conferences, field trip destinations and partner institutions across Germany and abroad. Multi-day trips with driver accommodation are standard. For student groups we calculate tightly; feel free to state your budget in the inquiry.
Very well. Giessen with the Mathematikum is 30 minutes away, Wetzlar with its cathedral and the Leica world about 40. Many groups do Marburg in the morning and one of those in the afternoon. The Edersee is reachable in a good hour too. We are happy to suggest a route with realistic timings.
Yes, it sits in the lower town and is far more coach-friendly than the Oberstadt. There are stopping points for boarding and alighting close by. For guided tours it is best to register your group with the parish in advance; we match the arrival time to your slot.
Two to three weeks is usually enough. It gets tighter during the Christmas market in the Oberstadt, around long weekends and at semester milestones such as freshers' weeks. Then better allow four weeks. We still answer short-notice requests quickly and honestly.
