Having been awarded town privileges in 1222, Marburg served as capital of the landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg during periods of the 15th to 17th centuries. The University of Marburg was founded in 1527 and dominates the public life in the town to this day.
History
Founding and early history
Like many settlements, Marburg developed at the crossroads of two important early medieval highways: the trade route linking Cologne and Prague and the trade route from the North Sea to the Alps and on to Italy, the former crossing the river Lahn here. The settlement was protected and customs were raised by a small castle built during the 9th or 10th century by the Giso. Marburg has been a town since 1140, as proven by coins. From the Gisos, it fell around that time to the Landgraves of Thuringia, residing on the Wartburg above Eisenach.
Marburg is a small township of 536 inhabitants located 60 kilometres (37mi) west of Brisbane, the capital of the State of Queensland, Australia. It is split between the City of Ipswich and Somerset Region local government areas. At the 2011 Australian Census the town recorded a population of 567.
History
German settlers arrived in the region around the 1860s. The story goes that, when the station master of the nearby Walloon railway station asked the settlers where they lived, the settlers responded with 'ober dar'. He felt that 'ober dar' should have a proper name and since he had read an article about a town in Germany called 'Marburg' he decided to register their produce as coming from 'Marburg'. The settlers liked this solution and the name stuck.
The timber, sugar cane and dairy industries put Marburg on its feet. While Marburg in 1868 was a wilderness, in 1900 Marburg had a courthouse, police barracks, a post office, two hotels, five churches, a State school, a School of Arts, several stores, a blacksmith, a butter factory, a sugar factory and a rum distillery. At that time nearly 80 percent of Marburg's population came from Germany or were of German descent.
Marburg virus disease (MVD; formerly Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a severe illness of humans and non-human primates caused by either of the two marburgviruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV). MVD is a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), and the clinical symptoms are indistinguishable from Ebola virus disease (EVD).

In Equatorial Guinea, the first ever outbreak of Marburg virus disease has been reported after nine people died in the country’s Kie Ntem province. Apart from these deaths, 16 suspected cases with symptoms including fever, fatigue and blood-stained vomit and diarrhea have been reported.
According to the WHO, the disease is highly contagious and causes hemorrhagic fever. It begins abruptly, with high fever, severe headache and severe malaise. Of every 100 people who contract the virus, 88 are likely to die.First discovered in 1967, the virus is transmitted to people from fruit bats and spreads among humans through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected people, surfaces and materials. The virus usually takes between two and 21 days to incubate, leading to abrupt symptoms, some of which can make Marburg difficult to diagnose initially, as they are similar to typhoid and malaria. It is in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola virus disease.
Cameroon has been put on red alert since two suspected cases were detected on 13th February and the concerned communities border towns in Cameroon’s southern region. Its ministry of public health has advised the population to avoid contact with body fluids from sick persons, avoid contact with sick or dead animals as well as avoid unprotected sexual intercourse. Handling of corpses by non-medical personnel should be avoided.WHO is deploying health emergency experts in epidemiology, case management, infection prevention, laboratory, and risk communication to support the national response efforts and secure community collaboration in outbreak control.
Currently, there are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat the virus.But treatments like rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids, have proven to improve an individual's chances of survival. Previous outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in other parts of Africa, including in Angola, DR Congo, Guinea, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda.

Ghana has confirmed its first two cases of the deadly Marburg virus, a highly infectious disease in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola.
It says both patients died recently in hospital in the southern Ashanti region.
Their samples came back positive earlier this month and have now been verified by a laboratory in Senegal.
Health officials in the West African nation say 98 people are now under quarantine as suspected contact cases.

In Equatorial Guinea, the first ever outbreak of Marburg virus disease has been reported after nine people died in the country’s Kie Ntem province. Apart from these deaths, 16 suspected cases with symptoms including fever, fatigue and blood-stained vomit and diarrhea have been reported.
According to the WHO, the disease is highly contagious and causes hemorrhagic fever. It begins abruptly, with high fever, severe headache and severe malaise. Of every 100 people who contract the virus, 88 are likely to die.First discovered in 1967, the virus is transmitted to people from fruit bats and spreads among humans through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected people, surfaces and materials. The virus usually takes between two and 21 days to incubate, leading to abrupt symptoms, some of which can make Marburg difficult to diagnose initially, as they are similar to typhoid and malaria. It is in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola virus disease.
Cameroon has been put on red alert since two suspected cases were detected on 13th February and the concerned communities border towns in Cameroon’s southern region. Its ministry of public health has advised the population to avoid contact with body fluids from sick persons, avoid contact with sick or dead animals as well as avoid unprotected sexual intercourse. Handling of corpses by non-medical personnel should be avoided.WHO is deploying health emergency experts in epidemiology, case management, infection prevention, laboratory, and risk communication to support the national response efforts and secure community collaboration in outbreak control.
Currently, there are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat the virus.But treatments like rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids, have proven to improve an individual's chances of survival. Previous outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in other parts of Africa, including in Angola, DR Congo, Guinea, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda.
Having been awarded town privileges in 1222, Marburg served as capital of the landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg during periods of the 15th to 17th centuries. The University of Marburg was founded in 1527 and dominates the public life in the town to this day.
History
Founding and early history
Like many settlements, Marburg developed at the crossroads of two important early medieval highways: the trade route linking Cologne and Prague and the trade route from the North Sea to the Alps and on to Italy, the former crossing the river Lahn here. The settlement was protected and customs were raised by a small castle built during the 9th or 10th century by the Giso. Marburg has been a town since 1140, as proven by coins. From the Gisos, it fell around that time to the Landgraves of Thuringia, residing on the Wartburg above Eisenach.
