Assinchus

Assinchusen also Ässcher Höfchen or Assinghausen between Brilon and Scharfenberg is a desolate place , it is not identical to Assinghausen in the Assinghauser Grund.

According to the original cadastre, the Esscherfeld , it is a farmland complex that stretched along the Aa in the southeast to the Ostenberg and the ridge in the northwest. Assinchusen is a good example of a desertification in a city field mark that developed and was then abandoned as a settlement area in order to continue to cultivate the area and integrate it into the urban corridor. From 1338 the name of the place was changed from Assinchusen to Eschergudt and until 1482 the place was called Askerhoff. Since the end of the Middle Ages, the area was probably no longer populated and was used as arable land. From 1338 the area was proven to be a fiefdom of Count Gottfried IV, Gottfried gave the fiefdom to Hermann von Scharfenberg (also Scarpenberg). The archbishop judge in the city of Brilon confirmed this in a document in 1360. Knight Hermann von Scharfenberg is also mentioned as a fief in the Liber iurium et feudorum Westphaliae . Later a Heidenreich von Scharfenberg was enfeoffed with the main court.
