history

The eponymous place Aschhausen is today part of the community Schöntal in Hohenlohekreis in Baden-Württemberg . The Swabian Federation destroyed Aschhausen Castle in 1523 because the gentlemen were the helpers of the robber baron Hans Thomas von Absberg . The destruction was a subject of the 1523 Wandereisen woodcuts .

As part of the Frankish imperial free knighthood , the family was organized in the knightly canton of Odenwald . The genealogist Johann Gottfried Biedermann , who is to be viewed critically in detail , presented the family tree on two tables; among the family members were several bailiffs and canons in the service of Würzburg . The male family died out in 1657.
