History

The community’s namesake was the Haus Esche, also known as Oedinghof. The Haus Esche and the Schulenburg (castle) in Veldhausen were both owned by a family named van Münster.

In the Dutch War of Independence, in 1593, when the Spaniards unsuccessfully laid siege to the fort at Coevorden, the inhabitants of the Esche farming community sought shelter in this house, albeit only for a short time. The dearth of food and lack of room gave rise to a plague outbreak which daily killed many. The survivors were evicted, whereupon they had their goods stolen and were wretchedly mistreated. Today, the community of Esche is a modern residential community, but still with a strong rural character.
