history

Köttingen is an old settlement name. According to an earlier place-name description, Köttingen is said to designate a place that was inhabited by the sons of a "Kotto".

In 1222 there were two Prümer farms in Köttingen , which belonged to the Elsaffer Vogtei. Vogt was "Dietrich von Ütgenbach ". 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 " Honschaft Elsaff", which belonged to the parish of Asbach and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne Office of Altenwied . In an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, Köttingen had four farms. In 1787 there were five farms each with a total of 42 adult residents in Ober- and Unterköttingen.

After the Rhineland came to Prussia in 1815 , Köttingen 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, Köttingen had 48 inhabitants who lived in 9 houses. 7 people lived in the separately listed Köttinger mill.

Until March 16, 1974, Köttingen belonged to the previously 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 the former parish affiliation . Here Köttingen came to Asbach and has been part of the Elsaff-Asbach district since then . In 1987 Köttingen had 72 inhabitants.

Köttinger mill

The Köttinger mill was originally an oil mill and was first mentioned in a document in 1652. In 1817 it is listed in statistics as a grinding mill . Milling was carried out in the Köttinger mill until the early 1950s. The mill building, a half-timbered building , was renovated in the late 1980s.
