Marsberg is a dynamic town. There is always something going on. Community and neighborhood festivals are celebrated in the districts, and carnival and shooting festivals are the highlights of the events. The economic focus is on the glass, metal, plastics, wood, paper and healthcare sectors. In recent years, tourism and the service sector have gained in importance.
Marsberg, on the edge of Hochsauerland, offers a wide range of activities - but tends to stand for quiet tourism for guests who are mobile and want to get their bearings in the region. The vacation area in Marsberg is the Diemel reservoir in the south of the town, which offers water rats every opportunity. Whether you are a sailor, diver, swimmer or angler, there is something for every water sports enthusiast.
Marsberg is a town on the move. Craft businesses in all sectors and numerous medium-sized companies in the manufacturing and processing industries form the basis for the economic performance and development and play just as important a role as the traditionally located clinics of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe. There are also innovative companies in the IT sector.
