A city is founded—its heart begins to beat. But visible achievements such as buildings and infrastructure are only outward signs. The true heart of a city is the people who have lived and continue to live in it.

The pulse of a city changes over time. Think of time-lapse images in which flickering lines of car lights visualize the commute, the waiting at traffic lights, and the simultaneous acceleration. These movements are like lifelines, driven by a strong heartbeat.

Leonardo da Vinci already described rivers as the earth's bloodstreams. In a city, it's not the rivers themselves, but the movements, encounters, and activities of the people that determine its rhythm. But the heartbeat doesn't always remain steady—it is shaped by joy, fear, and many other influences. Thus, every city develops its own pulse.

This is also the case with the university town of Marburg , where people from over 100 nations live together in a cosmopolitan and tolerant community. This work traces the city from its founding in 1222 through the work of Saint Elizabeth to the present day.
