history
The place Ascheberg emerged from a farming settlement of Saxon origin, which was built in the middle of the 9th century in the vicinity of a Ludgerian church. The name Ascheberg most likely comes from the Eschenburg, which is said to have once stood near Ascheberg. The first written mention of the place dates from the year 890. The appearance of the village is dominated by the 81 meter high, neo-Gothic tower of St. Lambertus Church. It is a Gothic hall church , the choir room was designed by Johann Conrad Schlaun in 1740 .
The two local centers Ascheberg and Davensberg as well as several farmers belonged to the former community. In 1818 the entire municipality had 2,425 inhabitants. With a continuous development of the population, their number increased to 3665 by 1930. Shortly before the regional reform in 1975, 6801 inhabitants lived in Ascheberg, of these 1431 in Davensberg and 1458 in the peasantry.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on June 16, 1978 by the Münster Regional Council.
Blazon : "In gold, a blue tree growing from a tinned red shield base covered with three gold balls."
On May 31, 1977, the council decided unanimously to continue changing the historic coat of arms of Ascheberg, approved in 1962, by converting the color of the tree (ash) - heraldically harmless - from green to blue, in order to reflect the colors of the former municipality of Herbern (blue / Yellow). The tree and the wall refer to the place name Ascheberg as a " speaking symbol ", which was first mentioned in a document in the 9th century ("Ascasberg") and is derived from Old High German askin = Eschen by linguists. The three spheres can be traced back to the gender of the Lords of Davensberg, as they were the only ones bearing the distinctive symbol of the three spheres on a red background.
