Sassen, Germany
Sassen is an ''Ortsgemeinde'' – a municipality belonging to a ''Verbandsgemeinde'', a kind of collective municipality – in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the ''Verbandsgemeinde'' of Kelberg, whose seat is in the like-named municipality. Name The municipality's name, Sassen, is derived from the German word ''Ansassen'' or ''Beisassen'', words once used to designate people who were not local, but rather had come from elsewhere to settle. The area around Ülmen and Ürsfeld was already settled when others came along to settle at the village now known as Sassen. Another explanation, however, is that the name arose from transplanted Saxons brought to the Eifel by Charlemagne.

Geography The municipality lies in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
