History
Marmagen was in the possession of the Premonstratensian abbey of Steinfeld by 1187, when Philipp von Heinsberg, archbishop of Cologne, issued a confirmation charter. The abbey exercised juridical rights over the village of Marmagen throughout the rest of the Middle Ages.
The abbot of Steinfeld sold the grange of Marmagen in 1559, but retained some properties and rights in the area.
