history

Haaren was first mentioned in a document as Hare in 1217 . The place name can indicate a hag or a hill. Another documentary mention was made in 1328 when ten bishops in Avignon signed a letter of indulgence for the Haaren church of St. Jans-Klus. Until 1804, Haaren belonged to the Waldfeucht parish. From 1797 to 1815 Mairie Haaren, like Braunsrath and Waldfeucht, belonged to the canton of Heinsberg in the Département de la Roer . Then the place comes to the Prussian district of Heinsberg . In 1935 the Waldfeucht office was formed with the mayor offices of Braunsrath, Haaren, Saeffelen and Waldfeucht. Brüggelchen , Driesch, Frilinghoven , Neuhaaren and Soperich also belonged to this mayor's office in Haaren . On January 1, 1972, the municipality of Waldfeucht was formed from the Waldfeucht office - except for Saeffelen. Hair is thus incorporated into Waldfeucht.

Attractions

  • The parish church “St. John the Baptist ”was built from 1821 to 1824 as a single-nave, neo-Romanesque building. In 1913 and 1914 a neo-Gothic transept was added. In the parish church there is a listed Klais organ with pneumatic action, which was built between 1925 and 1926 .
  • The baptistery of St. Jans-Klus was probably built by Irish-Scottish monks in the 8th or 9th century. In 1328 she received a letter of indulgence as a place of pilgrimage. The current building was built in the 17th or 18th century and served as the Haaren parish church from 1804 to 1824; today there is the "Café zur Klus".
