history

The settlement was built around Asserballe train station, which was built in 1897 from the circular railway on Alsen next to the lonely poor house ( Fattiggården in Danish ) built in 1869 . It is referred to as a hospital on the Prussian measurement table . In 1873, 19 poor people from the surrounding communities were taken in; in 1899 there were 9.

The station had a locomotive shed, but was only referred to as a stop ( Danish trinbræt ) on the German map . The stop was the only one in Asserballe Sogn and was named after the community. The railway line was opened on February 6, 1898. A grain and feed trade was housed in the station building. Part of the station burned down in 1931, but was rebuilt.

Amtsbanerne på Als ceased operations on the line on February 28, 1933. The engine shed no longer exists, the foundation can still be seen. A 1½ km long footpath and cycle path to Hundslev starts 400 m north of the station and runs along the longest section of the embankment, which has been preserved by the Amtsbanerne på Als, with the exception of sections within Sønderborg where the embankment of the divested Sønderborg– Mommark has been reused.
