==History==
The city of Hamborn was incorporated into Duisburg in 1929. Until the merger, Hamborn was an independent city and at that time was one of the 40 largest cities in Germany.<ref>Adolf Liebers, Westermanns Weltatlas: mit erläuterndem Text und einem alphabetischen Namenverzeichnis(Komet, 2005)</ref>
Earliest mention of Hamborn is around 962[[Anno Domini|AD]] as Havenburn, meaning Cattle trough. The land was given to the [[Archbishop of Cologne]], to build a [[Premonstratensian]] monastery in 1136 by count [[Gerhard von Hochstaden]]. The [[Hamborn Abbey|Abbey]] and the neighboring farming communities were part of the Duchy of Cleves and became in 1666AD part of [[Brandenburg]], [[Prussia]].  Until the early 19th century Hamborn was still a small village.
