Drinhausen is a district of the local community Asbach in the district of Neuwied in northern Rhineland-Palatinate . The place is dominated by agriculture, but is increasingly developing into a place of residence in the sense of a residential community due to its convenient location .

geography

The village is located in the Niederwesterwald southwest of the main town Asbach on a hill south of the Asbach and the state road 272, which connects Asbach with the federal highway 3 (AS Bad Honnef / Linz ). The place is connected to Bennau and Asbach via Kreisstraße 42 .

history

Due to the ending “ -hausen ” in the place name, it can be assumed that there was an early Franconian settlement. According to an earlier description of the place name, the place name may have come from Draginhausen, named after a first settler named "Drago".

In the middle of the 13th century, the region of today's Asbacher Land came into the rulership of the Electorate of Cologne . The place was part of the " Honnschaft Elsaff", which belonged to the parish of Asbach and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne office of Altenwied . From the 15th to the 18th century, Drinhausen was the seat of the messenger of the Altenwied office. He had a courtyard as a messenger loan (salary). The oldest known messenger was Gobelen von Drinhausen in 1420 , other messengers were mentioned in documents in 1517, 1650 and 1709.

In an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, Drinhausen had ten courtyards. In 1787 the hamlet had grown to 18 houses with 44 adult residents.

After the Rhineland came to Prussia in 1815 , Drinhausen belonged to the municipality of Elsaff in the then newly formed district of Neuwied and was administered by the Mayor's Office Asbach . According to a census from 1885, Drinhausen had 76 inhabitants who lived in 18 houses, 7 people lived in the separately listed Köttinger mill.

Until March 16, 1974, Drinhausen belonged to the then independent municipality of Elsaff , which was dissolved on the same date and whose localities were assigned to the newly formed local communities Asbach and Buchholz according to their former parish affiliation . Here Drinhausen came to Asbach and has been part of the Elsaff-Asbach district since then . In 1987 Drinhausen had 92 inhabitants.
