Mårslet is a railway town in Denmark, located about 11 km (6.8 mi) south of Aarhus.

[3] In recent times, Mårslet has experienced a strong growth of new houses, especially due to an increased relocation of affluent people from Aarhus.

[5] As a village, it experienced its first period of rapid growth after the construction of the Hads-Ning Herreders Line (Odderbanen) between Aarhus and Odder in 1884.

The joint council works to maintain, promote and coordinate the interests of the local area, both internally in the town and externally in relation to public authorities, especially Aarhus Municipality.

[9] Mårslet-Bladet is a local magazine that is published every month, except in August and February, for residents of Mårslet.
