history

Catholic church in baroque style in the center of Hänner

It is assumed that Hänner was settled for the first time during the first Alemannic settlement period around 700 AD.

The first mention of the place is contained in a document from June 17, 1240, in which a Henrico de Henere is mentioned as pastor ( plebani ). At that time, Hänner still belonged to the Säckingen women's monastery . With the unification of the county of Hauenstein from 1433 and the principle of peasant self-government contained therein, the parish of Hänner became part of the Murg unification. Up until the beginning of industrialization , agriculture and the businesses located on the Hännemer Wühre , such as forges, saws and mills, formed the basis of the economy. The sawmills in Hänner, which are still numerous today, bear witness to this time. The later industrialization, especially in the places on the Rhine , also made it possible for many people to find work in the emerging textile industry. The Hänner parish - one of the oldest in the Hotzenwald - became independent after the church reorganization in 1695 and also included the Oberhof community .

On January 1, 1973, Hänner was incorporated into the municipality of Murg.
