Marburg Estate
The name
Marburg Estate derives from the Hamlet of Marburg, which has rested beneath the
waters of Lake Marburg since 1967 when Codorus State Park was created. The
hamlet was named for a city in Central Germany known as Marburg an der Lahn or
Marburg on the Lahn river. It was founded in 1527 by Philip of Hesse,
a famous German Monarch. The land around the city is part of the
beautiful Rhine Valley, which is known for some of the finest German wine.
