The village Asche was first mentioned as Asca in the founding certificate for the Peters monastery of Nörten in the year 1055. The name goes back to the old-Saxon word for Esche (ash-tree). A register from the year 1609 testifies that the aristocratic dynasty of von Hardenberg owned estates as tenure in the village. While the village Asche, having only 13 fireplaces in the year 1784, belonged to the Amt Hardegse, the village Fehrlingsen situated to the east was part of the noble juristiction Adelebsen. The old Heerstraße from Göttingen to Uslar runs through both villages. around the middle of the 19th-century Asche owned only 12 houses and was part of the parochialism Ellierode. In 1974 Asche and Fehrlingsen were both incopurated into the town of Hardegsen.

A special feature of the village Asche are the three graveyards. But there is no village church.
