Thelenberg is a district of the local community Asbach in the district of Neuwied in northern Rhineland-Palatinate . The place is characterized by agriculture, but is increasingly developing into a place of residence in the sense of a residential community .

geography

The village is located in the Niederwesterwald southwest of the main town Asbach on a hill above and east of the Pfaffenbach . Thelenberg can only be reached via Kreisstraße 41, which connects the town with Landesstraße 255 (Asbach - Neustadt ). The Thelenberger Mühle in the Pfaffenbachtal also belongs to the district of Thelenberg. It is about 1 km from the village.

history

The place name probably comes from a Frankish settler named "Thelo" or " Thilo ". Since the Middle Ages, Thelenberg has belonged to the Electorate of Cologne and the Altenwied Office and was part of the " Honnschaft Schöneberg". According to an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, Thelenberg had four courtyards, in 1787 eight houses and 31 residents were counted.

The Thelenberger Mühle was built as an oil mill in the 18th century and restored a few years ago.

After the Rhineland became part of Prussia in 1815 , Thelenberg belonged to the Schöneberg community in the then newly formed Neuwied district and was initially administered by the Neustadt mayor and from 1823 by the Asbach mayor . According to a census from 1885, Thelenberg had 36 residents who lived in eight houses. The Thelenberg mill was listed separately with two residents.

Until 1974 Thelenberg belonged to the previously independent community Schöneberg . On March 16, 1974, the local community Asbach was newly formed from it and the communities of Asbach and Limbach, which were dissolved at the same time, and part of the community of Elsaff . In 1987 Thelenberg had 63 residents.
