Marsberg () is a town in the Hochsauerland district, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

==History== Although its origins are obscure, Marsberg was a prospering town by the 13th century (it was even minting coins). It was a free city until 1807, when it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia, until 1813. After two years of independent government, it was added to Prussia in 1815.
