history

middle Ages

The place was possibly first mentioned in 1260 and documented in 1353 as Hagen . This probably indicates a frozen place. The development of the rulership is probably similar to that in nearby Laudenbach , with which the place probably moved from the von Hohenlohe and Niederadel to the von Finsterlohr.

Modern times

After they died out in the 16th century, the Würzburg diocese moved into the fiefdom that belonged to the Weikersheim tithes . Haagen was then pledged. With the rule of Haltbergstetten, the fief came in 1641 to the Counts of Hatzfeld. In 1794 the fiefdom reverted to Würzburg. In 1803 the place came to Hohenlohe-Bartenstein-Jagstberg with the rule of Haltebergstetten. In 1806 Haagen fell under Württemberg state sovereignty and from 1807/08 belonged to the Oberamt Nitzenhausen, immediately afterwards to the Oberamt and later the Mergentheim district, which became part of the Main-Tauber district in 1973.

In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1975, the previously independent municipality of Haagen was incorporated into the city of Weikersheim.

religion

Haagen was once a church branch of Laudenbach, where the Reformation was introduced by Finsterlohr. Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn reversed this, so that the place is predominantly Catholic today. Most of the Protestant residents who moved here after the Second World War were assigned to the Protestant parish of Pfitzingen.

In addition to the Herrenzimmern and Pfitzingen districts of Niederstetten , the Protestant parish of Pfitzingen also includes the Haagen district of Weikersheim. Today the evangelical parish of Pfitzingen is also looked after by the evangelical rectory in Vorbachzimmer.
