history

The place name probably comes from a Franconian settler named "Wilo". Since the Middle Ages, Wilsberg has belonged to the Electorate of Cologne and to the Altenwied office and was part of the " Honnschaft Schöneberg". According to an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, Wilsberg had three courtyards, in 1787 eight houses and 25 residents were counted.

After the Rhineland became part of Prussia in 1815 , Wilsberg 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, Wilsberg had 50 residents who lived in eleven houses.

In 1838 the first school was set up in Wilsberg, and in 1865 a new schoolhouse was built.

Until 1974 Wilsberg 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 Wilsberg had 64 inhabitants.
