The remains of a Roman villa were found north of the village during the construction of the railway in 1911 . The founding, or at least the name of Ahütte, apparently goes back to an ironworks that has been proven to have existed since the 18th century and was owned by the Counts of Aremberg , but may be of older origin. In 1885, the municipality of Üxheim-Ahütte ( mayor of Kerpen in the Daun district ) is named in an official directory, consisting of the municipality units Ahütte with 145, Üxheim with 201 inhabitants and the residential areas Beuerhof with four and Hammermühle with five inhabitants.
On January 1, 1968, the local communities of Üxheim-Ahütte (with 508 inhabitants at the time), Leudersdorf and Niederehe, which were independent until then, merged to form the newly formed community of Üxheim. On February 1, 1968 Heyroth joined them.

Economy and tourism
The economy of the district is dominated by the mining of limestone and its further processing. The townscape is shaped by the quarrying area and the silhouette of the processing plants, especially the shaft kiln for the production of quick lime . The company, which produces lime in different variations, states that it was founded in 1835 and, according to its own statements, employs around 35 people today. In the immediate vicinity is a cement plant founded in 1923 with around 65 employees, which mainly produces Portland cement . Both companies have been under the same management since 1983.
In addition, there is a manageable number of other companies, mainly in the service sector .
The Agriculture and Forestry , which has lost in the last 150 years already important, will take place today predominantly in the sideline instead.
Not least because of the above-mentioned industrial plants with their emissions (which have decreased in recent years), there is practically hardly any tourist infrastructure in the local area itself. There are holiday apartments a few kilometers away from the limestone quarries in Hammermühle in the Ahbachtal . Marked hiking trails through the village include the Geo-Rundweg Hillesheim and the Eifelkrimi hiking trail . Furthermore, the Kalkeifel cycle path runs as a section of a national long - distance cycle path network using sections of the former railway line through Ahütte.
