Giessen
Gießen is known for its universities, its culture and its history. One of the most famous sights is Giessen Castle, a Renaissance palace in the heart of the City, which is now used as a museum and event venue.
One more landmark is the Justus Liebig University, one of the tallest and oldest universities in Hesse, which is particularly strong in the fields of agriculture, medicine and natural sciences.
Gießen has a population of around 80,000 inhabitants, most of them German, but also many people from other countries and cultures. The City has a young population, as many students are attracted by the university. The unemployment rate in Giessen is relatively low compared to other regions in Deutschland.
