Discreet Biohazard Cleanup Near West Marienthal Marienthal, KS

Marienthal is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Wichita County, Kansas — not an incorporated city.

Marienthal was founded in 1892 by a group of immigrant Volga Germans, who named it after their previous hometown of Marienthal in Russia, on the east bank of the Volga River in the Saratov district.

The first St. Mary's Catholic Church was built in Marienthal in 1893, and a new St. Mary's Church was dedicated in 1977; the church remains the heart of the community.

Marienthal's post office was established on March 18, 1902; the U.S. Postal Service discontinued service in 2011 and the post office officially closed in 2017.

In 1910 Marienthal was a stop on the Missouri Pacific Railroad with a money-order post office and daily mail service, but its population was only 25.

The 2020 census counted 64 people in 33 households and 21 families in Marienthal, spread over about 2.0 square miles.

Today's Marienthal still has its Catholic church, a flour mill and bakery, grain elevators and silos with active railroad service, a trucking company, a bar and a substance-abuse treatment center.
