Around the year 1108, Marlach was first mentioned in a document as "Marloch" and "Marlohe" among the Fulda donations in Jagstgau . The name means "forest on the swamp". The place is also known as Marlohen or Alt-Marlach. In 1108 there was a noble family in Marlach. The later lords of Marlach were branched out with the lords of Berlichingen. During the Thirty Years War , the place was almost completely burned down by the Swedes.
There were 32 casualties in the First World War and 40 in the Second . On the afternoon of April 8, 1945, Marlach was taken over by the US Army after a fight with officer cadets of the Wehrmacht .
