history

The place was first mentioned in 1413 when the von Neuberg family sold it to the von Zedtwitz family .

After the Battle of Himmelreich on May 8, 1759 in the Seven Years 'War , soldiers' graves were dug in Nassengrub, which triggered an epidemic after the winter of the following year.

After the abolition of patrimonial Nassengrub formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Wernersreuth in the judicial district Asch or district Asch . On March 22nd, 1874, Nassengrub broke up and became its own community. After that, the community benefited from the industrial boom in the city of Asch and turned into a suburb of Asch.

In 1939 Nassengrub had 1816 inhabitants. Between 1938 and 1945 the community was part of the Asch district . In 1948, Neuenbrand was incorporated and in the same year it was renamed Mokřiny . After the Okres Aš was abolished, the municipality came to Okres Cheb at the end of 1960. At the beginning of 1976 Mokřiny was incorporated into Aš. The 2001 census counted 155 houses and 530 inhabitants.
