In 900, Niedermarsberg at the foot of Eresburg (Obermarsberg) was first mentioned in documents as "Villa Horohusen". The developing settlement was called Horhusen and was granted Dortmund town rights in 962. Later, the name Stadtberge was used, which was replaced by Niedermarsberg from 1872. The coat of arms of Niedermarsberg is based on the seal of the von Horhusen family from the 14th century.
