Neschen is a district in Oberodenthal in the municipality of Odenthal in the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis. It is located on Kreisstraße 28 east of Altenberg at the highest point of the mountain ridge coming from Odenthal.
The name of the place comes from the ashes (Fraxinus). The oldest known mention dates back to a document from January 4, 1340. It concerns the transfer of movable and immovable property from a widow Mechtild von Breitbach and her daughter Nella to the Abbey of Altenberg. Witnesses to the act were Nikolaus and his son Richmod "von Neschen." Another mention comes from February 9, 1373, in connection with a farm in Neschen by naming an Adolf von Neschen, who was a judge in Odenthal from May 13, 1379.
