history

Asselborn is a medieval settlement name that is recorded for 1294 in the form de Astelburne . The meaning of the name can only be guessed at. The designation probably indicated a source (born = source) in a hazel bush (dialect "Hassel" or "Assel" = hazel). On the other hand, the name could be derived from the Middle High German "astach" (= summit, branches and twigs of felled trees), which would result in a reference to clearing activities. The name Asselborn also bears a medieval manor near today's street, which was first named Giselbert de Astelburne and is recorded in the original cadastre as Asenborns Hof . The Herkenrath order of pews from 1630 names the estate as Asselborner Hoff . Even today, the population of Asselborn perceives the residential area as part of Herkenrath.

According to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as “farm goods” had eleven houses in 1845. At that time 74 people lived in the place, all of them Catholic faith.
