Albaxen was mentioned in documents as Albaxen when the neighboring Corvey Abbey was founded in 822, and was named Albaxen around 900. The Albax parish church is mentioned in a document as early as the 9th century. The Tonenburg bei Albaxen was built in 1315 by the Corvey Abbey . In the southern vicinity of the Tonenburg estate, in Höxter-Nachtigall, lignite was mined underground from 1795 to 1923 with the Nachtigall lignite mine. The mine belonged to the Ronnenberg alkali works.

Until the reorganization of the Höxter district on January 1, 1970, Albaxen belonged to the Höxter-Land office .
