History
From 1822 to 1946, Marpingen was a part of the Rhine Province in the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1876, at the height of the Kulturkampf, Marpingen was claimed to be the site of an apparition of the Virgin Mary, leading to a major conflict between the Prussian government and the believers who flocked to the municipality as a result.
