Until the merger with the city of Duisburg in 1929, Hamborn was an independent city and at that time was one of the 40 largest cities in Germany.〔Adolf Liebers, Westermanns Weltatlas: mit erläuterndem Text und einem alphabetischen Namenverzeichnis(Komet, 2005)〕 Earliest mention of Hamborn is around 962AD as Havenburn, meaning Cattle trough. The land was given to the Archbishop of Cologne, to build a Premonstratensian monastry in 1136 by count Gerhard von Hochstaden. The 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamborn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
