History
editThe village was first mentioned in 997 as Marsna. The etymology is unclear.[3] Maren developed on the river bank of the Maas.[4]
The former town hall of Maren was built in 1901 and is an L-shaped building with Jugendstil influences.[4]
Maren was a separate municipality until 1821, when it became part of Alem, Maren en Kessel.[5] Maren was home to 298 people in 1840.[6] The village and neighbouring Kessel were severely damaged by war in 1944, and lost its church. After the war a new village Maren-Kessel was built between the two villages.[4] In 2011, it became part of the municipality of Oss.[6]
