History
Aßlar was first mentioned in A.D. 783 in a charter of an ecclesiastical grant copied into the Lorsch Codex (or Codex Laureshamensis in Latin).
Like many other places, Aßlar grew from a few great estates to about 5,000 by the time of the First World War, always forming a community with Klein-Altenstädten on the other side of the River Dill. Following the Second World War, a great number of refugees settled in the area from various lost German territories. The municipal reforms of 1977 led to its amalgamation with Bechlingen, Berghausen, Bermoll, Oberlemp and Werdorf to produce today's town of Aßlar.
