Asselheim, a village with 100 inhabitants, was first documentally mentioned on 7th may 767 in the Lorscher Codec.

 

In this document, the two fraconians Hildwin and Reginfried donated a wineyard in the boundaries of "Azzalunheim" to Limburg Abbey.

Artefacts that where found in the village district proof that this area was settled from about 1800 BC.

Artefacts from the Hallstatt culture, the Franconian and the Romans show that Asselheim with its strategical important situation on the outskirts of the Palatinate Forest to the Rhine valley was settled continously from ancient times on.

Asselheim was place of trial since the 11th century.
The Thirty Years War and the successional pestilence brought dramatic changings to Asselheim. Just members of 8 families survived.
