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.
