history

North Assel was probably first mentioned in a document as Asle in 1243 . Not until 1316 did the name Northasle appear in another script. Like that of Hohenassel, the name indicates the close connection with the Asselburg in Burgdorf.

In the period that followed, several landlords owned the village, including the von Bortfeld, von Gadenstedt, von Berge, von Steinberg and von Saldern families as well as the Godehardikloster in Hildesheim, the Braunschweiger Blasiusstift, the Gandersheim monastery and the Derneburg monastery .

Traces of the Landwehr and old boundary stones still mark the former border between the Duchy of Braunschweig or its predecessor states and the Duchy of Hildesheim , which ran a few hundred meters away from the outskirts for centuries.

From 1519 to 1523, in the course of the Hildesheim collegiate feud between the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the Duchy of Hildesheim, northern Assel was severely damaged. Parts of the village were also destroyed in the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648. In 1633 numerous houses were set on fire.

In 1753 a school house is mentioned for the first time. The last school to be closed was the elementary school in North Assel in 1970.

It was not until after the Second World War that Nordassel developed into a larger town. Previously, the cluster village was populated by only about 200 residents for many years. The last time around 1850 about ten percent of the population emigrated to North America.

The Nordassel volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1874 and has been providing fire protection and general assistance ever since.

Culture and sights

• There was a chapel in the village as early as 1540. Since 1611, Nordassel had a half-timbered church, which replaced the old chapel. This church was renovated at the beginning of the 20th century and rededicated on October 1st, 1908. She received a new clock and a new bell. A chandelier was donated in 1932. The church was destroyed by a bomb drop in November 1942. 16 years later the new and modern Evangelical Michaeliskirche was inaugurated.
