history

The place Asche was mentioned for the first time in 1055 as Asca in the founding deed of the Petersstift zu Nörten. The name is derived from the Old Saxon word for ash . A directory from 1609 testifies that the noble family von Hardenberg owned estates in the village as fiefs. While the village of Asche, which had only 13 fireplaces in 1784, belonged to the Hardegsen office, the neighboring village of Fehrlingsen to the east was assigned to the aristocratic court of Adelebsen. The old military road from Göttingen to Uslar ran through both villages. By the middle of the 19th century, Asche only owned twelve houses and belonged to the Parish of Ellierode . On April 1, 1937, by order of the President of the Province of Hanover, the present-day Asche was formed from the previously independent communities of Fehrlingsen and Asche. This union is symbolized by the two diamonds in today's Ascher coat of arms. On March 1, 1974, Asche was incorporated into the city of Hardegsen.

A special feature of the village of Asche are the three cemeteries . There is, however, no village church.

Desert Church

Excavation of a church ruin near Asche

In 2015 the history association Asche / Fehrlingsen carried out an excavation on the foundations of a church in the forest. The church building is part of a medieval deserted area on the elevation of the Kirchberg about 800 meters south of Fehrlingsen. The name of the desert is not yet known for sure. An identity with the "Jürgensborg" desert previously assumed for a neighboring location has not yet been proven. The excavations continued in 2016.
