Immediately after arriving at Schalke he was loaned out to 2. Bundesliga club 1860 Munich until the end of the 2010–11 season.

Schalke general manager Andreas Müller said of the new striker: “Marvin is a talented player who will now get some match practice at a higher level. The aim is for him to find his feet in the professional game and hopefully he’ll come on well. Schalke and 1860 Munich are great clubs with a long tradition. I’m delighted the move has worked out. My aim is to play as many games as possible.”

On 31 August 2009 turned back on loan to TSV 1860 München, he played also between 30 June 2011 for the Bavarian Capital City club, but he will only play for the under-19-team in den U-19-Bundesliga. On 27 January 2010 his club TSV 1860 München terminated his contract and Pourie returned to FC Schalke 04. A day later, Schalke loned him out again, this time to TuS Koblenz.
