Maren is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Oss, about 10 km northeast of 's-Hertogenbosch.
History
The village was first mentioned in 997 as Marsna. The etymology is unclear.[1] Maren developed on the river bank of the Maas.[2]
The former town hall of Maren was built in 1901 and is an L-shaped building with Jugendstil influences.[2]
Maren was a separate municipality until 1821, when it became part of Alem, Maren en Kessel.[3] Maren was home to 298 people in 1840.[4] The village and neighbouring Kessel were severely damaged by war in 1944, and lost its church. After the war a new village Template:Ill was built between the two villages.[2] In 2011, it became part of the municipality of Oss.[4]
