history

It was first mentioned in a document in 1108 under the name Asfo . From the year 1287, the villages Oberasphe and Niederasphe were distinguished for the first time. From 1430 to 1717 the population was liable to pay a fee to the Lords of Dersch . During the Thirty Years War , the place suffered badly from troops passing through. In 1680 the church was rebuilt. From 1816 the place had its own school. In 1866 Oberasphe and the entire hinterland became Prussian. The men's choir was founded in 1894. In 1920 the place was connected to the public electricity network. The water pipeline was built in 1934. The village community center was inaugurated in 1959.

The place had been part of Frohnhausen's municipality in the Biedenkopf district since 1821 (reorganization of the administration) and 1832 (official founding of the district ) until it became independent in 1848. When the district was temporarily dissolved in 1932, Oberasphe, like all places of the Battenberg office , was incorporated into the Frankenberg district, where it remained even after the restoration of the now significantly reduced Biedenkopf district.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Oberasphe in 1830:

"Oberasphe (L. Bez. Battenberg) evangel. Branch village; is 2 St. from Battenberg, has 45 houses and 285 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 30 Jews. The place also has 1 grinding and oil mill. "

Territorial reform

When in 1974 the districts of Frankenberg and Waldeck were combined to form the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg and the districts of Biedenkopf and Marburg to form the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf as part of the regional reform in Hesse , Oberasphe became a district of Battenberg (Eder ) in the first-mentioned great circle. After violent protests by the population, however, six months later, on July 1, 1974, by virtue of state law, the town was incorporated into the large community of Münchhausen in the neighboring district of Marburg-Biedenkopf.

"Dolles Dorf"

In October 2011 Oberasphe was drawn in the Hessenschau for the competition for "Das Dolle Dorf 2012". After the first filming and the presentation on television, Oberasphe and 4 other locations from Hessen prevailed against 48 other locations in June 2012 and took part in the "Dollstes Dorf" competition in the form of various filming and a competition on the Hessentag. Even if it was only enough for 4th place, the small town could at least go home with the title "Dollstes Dorf der Herzen 2012", because after all, most of the calls on the live show were in favor of Oberasphes. The corresponding trophy has since been exhibited in the town hall.
