This is mentioned as early as 1368. Ahe received its own school in 1816. After Herbert Hillebrand built the residential park with around 800 residential units in 1968, Ahe experienced a great boom.

Attractions

House Wiedenau

Around 1200 the castle Haus Wiedenau was built south of the village . It is first mentioned in a document in 1384.

It is recorded on maps by Caspar Vopelius from 1555 and Gerhard Mercator from 1585. Only the last remnants of the wall have survived from the main castle. A moat is still hinted at. A residential house and buildings used for agriculture now stand on the foundations of the former outer bailey. The vaulted cellars below are no longer there. Today the area houses a horse boarding house.
