Hamborn

Hamborn is an administrative district in Duisburg comprising five neighborhoods: Röttgersbach, Marxloh, Obermarxloh, Neumühl, and Alt-Hamborn. The area blends residential zones with green spaces and preserves several historical buildings and structures throughout its territory.

The settlement was documented as early as the 10th century and housed a Premonstratensian monastery that gave it local importance. When it merged with Duisburg in 1929, the area had already developed into a thriving urban center.

The district maintains industrial roots from the Ruhr region's coal and steel era while supporting modern residential communities across its five distinct neighborhoods.

The district is easily accessible by public transportation and well integrated into Duisburg's network. Visitors will find parks, historical buildings, and dining options scattered throughout the neighborhoods.

The Benedictine monastery that once served as the religious center now stands amid modern neighborhoods, serving as a reminder of the area's spiritual past. The botanical garden and water tower are landmarks that trace the transformation from village to contemporary city.
