Marl, Industrial town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Located near the Wesel-Datteln Canal, Marl extends across 87 square kilometers and contains eleven distinct urban districts with a population of 84,000 residents.

The settlement, first documented in 890 AD, transformed from a small village into an industrial center following the establishment of Auguste Victoria coal mine in 1898.
