It’s a place where the rhythm of trains blends with the quiet hum of residential life. Marten owes its birth to the expansion of Dortmund, growing from a small settlement to a significant suburb. The heart of Marten, the Dortmund-Marten station, opened on May 30, 1964. This station, a modest yet vital transport hub, connects Marten to the wider Ruhr region.

The RB 43, or Emschertalbahn, chugs through Marten, linking it to towns like Dorsten and Wanne-Eickel, all the way to Dortmund’s central station. The station is a category 6 station, a designation used by Deutsche Bahn. While Marten might not boast grand historical monuments, its story is woven into the fabric of Dortmund’s growth.
