history

Harras was under the rule of the Lords of Wehingen until it was sold to Upper Austria in 1351 .

In 1697 Emperor Leopold had an iron smelter built in Harras. The iron and steel works consisted of a blast furnace that delivered the iron ingots to the Bärenthal factory. On the Swabian Alb in the open pit to winning Bohnerz with high iron content and the steep drop in the Alb in tunneling delivered to winning Stufenerze the starting raw material. The ore was mined in open pit ore pits, which were larger in size. In Oberheim new climbing created after Harras for the transport of ore from the mining areas at Hausen am Tann ( 48 ° 10 '51.31 "  N , 8 ° 50' 49.31"  O ) To 1845 degraded by Joseph Schiller Harras iron ore. The independent miners mined at their own risk and were paid by Erzmesser Monitgel in Ludwigsthal according to the amount delivered. Smugglers were also employed in the area of ​​steel production. Touristic tours on smuggling are offered by newly trained Danube guides. Women also did this job: "Between the Black Forest, Alb and Lake Constance, she is on the road as a peddler, blackmailer and worse. Through her father's ore smuggling." In 1698 just under a ton of steel ingots was smuggled on the Reichsstrasse near Kolbingen . There are reports of roe-shaped thone iron stones , of which there was a seam 1 - 2 shoe thick near Gosheim and Wehingen . The operation of the blast furnace was stopped in 1832 due to insufficient utilization and the blast furnace itself was canceled in 1839. Of the factory buildings, only the former officials' house was preserved and served as a district forester's apartment.

In 1805, Harras and the entire county of Hohenberg came to Württemberg through Napoléon .
