history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1236 under the name plana silva (derived from Latin meaning flat forest ). The names Plannaseyva (1324), Blanselp (1364), and for the first time Plasselb (1445) and Plannasewa (1472) appeared later .

1476 Murtenschlacht, with a "rice company" of 8 equipped men,.

In the Middle Ages , the Plasselb fief belonged to Rudolph von Ecublens, who sold it to the Bishop of Lausanne in 1291. In the following period there were numerous changes of ownership, including the gentlemen of Corbières , von Englisberg and the Velga family. Plasselb came under the rule of Freiburg through purchase in 1486 and was assigned to the Old Landscape (Burgpanner). After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), the village belonged to the Freiburg district during the Helvetic and the following period, from 1831 to the German district of Freiburg, before it was incorporated into the newly created Sense district in 1848 with the new cantonal constitution.

With effect from January 1, 1971, Neuhaus was incorporated into Plasselb.

At the end of winter 1994, the slope on the eastern flank of the Höllbach valley below the Schwyberg began to move after a period of very heavy rainfall for a long time. This landslide with various debris flows finally led to the complete destruction of the Falli-Hölli holiday home area with around 30 houses.

In terms of church, Plasselb initially belonged to the parish of Rechthalten, from 1519 to the parish of Plaffeien, and after various disputes about the worship service it was raised to an independent parish in 1720.
