history
As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate functional and territorial reform that began in the mid-1960s , the Asbach office , like all offices in the then Koblenz administrative district , was transformed into the Asbach community on October 1, 1968 . The communities Asbach , Elsaff , Griesenbach , Krautscheid , Limbach , Rederscheid , Schöneberg and Windhagen belonged to it .
On November 7, 1970, the association communities Asbach and Neustadt (Wied) were dissolved and the current association community Asbach was newly formed. The municipalities of Bertenau , Bühlingen , Elsaffhal , Lorscheid , Rahms and Vettelschoss belonged to the Neustadt association, which emerged from the Neustadt (Wied) office in 1968 .
From all of the above-mentioned communities, with the exception of Lorscheid and Vettelschoss, today's local communities Asbach , Buchholz (Westerwald) , Neustadt (Wied) and Windhagen emerged in the early 1970s . Lorscheid (today part of Sankt Katharinen ) and Vettelschoss came to the Verbandsgemeinde Linz am Rhein in 1969 .

The coat of arms has been legally valid since December 6, 1971, designed by Josef Schäfer, Asbach.
