In the 14th and 15th centuries, the von Dassel family acquired extensive fiefdoms and allodial estates in the area around Einbeck.

The uninterrupted family line begins with the citizen of Einbeck, Hermannus de Dasle, who is named as a buyer in Hoppensen in 1359.

It was sold in 1803 by forest master Friedrich Thedel von Dassel († 1837), Maire in Rotenkirchen, to a merchant named Krome.

In addition, a branch of the von Dassel family was temporarily based in Riga, Latvia, where their coat of arms was preserved on a showpiece from 1676 in the silver treasure of the Blackheads.

The family coat of arms shows a red bar in silver in front of three green linden leaves placed in a cross of thieves.
