history

The "Hof zu Oberhussen" was first mentioned in 1430. The bride of the “Mant von Limpach” brought this into the marriage as a dowry. “Mant” referred to a “judicial office” of the lower jurisdiction . The "Mant von Limpach" were in the service of the Lords of Ütgenbach . In 1515 the farm came into the possession of the Lords of Nesselrode .

Hussen belonged to the Electorate of Cologne and the Altenwied office and was part of the " Honnschaft Limbach". According to an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, Hussen had three farms. One of them belonged to the mayor of the Altenwied office. In 1787 there were 50 adult residents in Hussen who lived in 12 houses.

After the Rhineland became part of Prussia in 1815 , Hussen belonged to the Limbach municipality in the then newly formed Neuwied district and was administered by the Asbach mayor . According to a census from 1885, Hussen had 117 inhabitants who lived in 22 houses.

From 1845 to 1874 Hussen had a school. The school established in Limbach in 1874 replaced the school in Hussen.

Until 1974, Hussen was part of the then independent municipality of Limbach . On March 16, 1974, the local community Asbach was newly formed from it and the communities of Asbach and Schöneberg, which were dissolved at the same time, as well as part of the community of Elsaff . In 1987 Hussen had 141 inhabitants.
