history

Haag was first mentioned in 1269. The village has been divided into two parts by the Schwarzbachgrund since the earliest times. In 1313 it was called "Niedernhage" and "Obernhage". In 1544 Jörg von Vestenberg sold half a good at "Hag" to the Counts of Castell . The estate was soon abandoned. At times the village was largely evacuated and lay desolate, in 1569 three houses in the village were still inhabited.

In 1586 several goods came from the Lords of Vestenberg to other owners, including the Ebrach monastery . One of them was no longer built on. During the Thirty Years War , troops passing through devastated both parts of the village and completely destroyed them. In 1678, Haag is described as a “village of a kind”. At the end of the 17th century, Mittelhaag was built on the ruins of the old villages, which was combined with the rebuilt Oberhaag.

In 1972, Haag became a part of the newly formed community of Geiselwind.

Say

The gold coal

A drunk returned from the Burghöchstädter Kirchweih. He was just passing the Hague Mill when he craved a pipe . However, he had no more lighter and was just about to put up with having to give up his pipe when he suddenly saw a small fire burning on a hill. He walked up to the fire and used his tobacco pipe to load a piece of coal into the bowl of his pipe.

However, the coal did not stay in his pipe bowl, but immediately fell back to the ground. The same happened to him with a second and a third coal. The man then said: “The dirt is not even good for burning a pipe!” Suddenly he received a slap on the left and right , so that his hat flew away. The man quickly ran home. The next day he sent his sons to fetch the hat. The boys found the hat and three gold coins , but nothing of the fire could be seen.

The Hemann

Hemann was a haunted man who was up to mischief in the area around Haag. He was once a hunter , but was cursed by a witch. From then on he had to fly around as a bird in the night. The hemann was the size of a goose with black wings and a red breast. While he was flying, he shouted: “Hauk, hauk!” Once he visited the miller from Haag and watched him threshing . He kept shouting his hack, hack.
