Marxloh is a district of Duisburg in the Hamborn district with 20,879 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2018). It used to belong to the Hamborn district , which was merged with the Duisburg district in 1929 .
history
The place name is derived from Mersch for moist pastureland and Loh for high forest. From the 17th century Mersloe or Merxloe became Marxloh .
The nucleus of the place was the Schultenhof zu Marxloh , which was first mentioned in documents in 1421, but u. a. due to its structural features, it can be assessed as a few centuries older. The farm had a system of moats and a tower that could be used as storage and refuge. From this it can be concluded with some certainty that the court was the seat of a knight - or at least a servant family .
The farm was located where Schulte-Marxloh-Straße meets Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße today, and for centuries had the right to a tithe of the farmers belonging to the Schultenhof, which also included the Großeloh, Warbruck and Kleinemühl farms. The Schultenhof was subordinate to the Oberhof Beeck , which like the Schultenhof belonged to the Essen monastery .
Marxloh belonged to the Beeck parish and the same area Beeck, which in turn was subordinate to Drosten von Dinslaken from 1612 . Thus Marxloh, like the surrounding towns, belonged to the Duchy of Kleve for a long time .
In 1900 Marxloh, together with the towns of Alsum , Schwelgern, Bruckhausen, Fahrn and Schmidthorst-Neumühl, was separated from the community of Beeck as the new mayor's office in Hamborn. Eleven years later, the mayor's office was elevated to the status of the city of Hamborn , which was added to the city of Duisburg-Hamborn in 1929.
A large part of Marxloh was in the time of the industrialization of the Ruhr area, i. H. built between 1880 and 1910.
Since the mid-1970s, Marxloh has been exposed to massive structural change , which was driven in particular by a heavy loss of jobs in large-scale industry, but which also affected small and medium-sized businesses as a consequence.

According to a study by the University of Duisburg-Essen in 1998, the population development in Marxloh over the past few decades has been characterized by a significant population decline with a simultaneous increase in the proportion of foreigners (proportion of foreigners in 1975: 18.8 percent, 1987: 27.8, 2002: 34.7) . In recent years the population has increased again; the proportion of foreigners continued to increase. According to the city of Duisburg's population statistics, 11,712 or 56.1 percent of Marxloh's residents were foreigners without German citizenship at the end of 2018 . In 2015, people with a migration background , predominantly immigrants from Southeastern Europe and Turkey , made up 64 percent of the population.
In the mid-1990s, more and more people of Turkish origin opened shops on Weseler Strasse. In the 2000s, bridal wear, evening wear and jewelry stores emerged as the focus. Today Weseler Strasse is considered Germany's wedding mile.
In July 2015, warned police Rhine-Westphalia before no-go areas and lawless areas as public order and security "seriously jeopardized" by the formation of Arab extended families and clans was "not the long term." Local residents and business people no longer dared go out into the streets at night because of fear. The police presence has increased due to the situation. In 2016, the WAZ newspaper counted 88 wild garbage dumps in Marxloh.
