history

Old coat of arms of Haslen

Haslen is first mentioned in a document as Hasla around 1350 . The Säckingen monastery owned large estates in Haslen until 1395. Until the construction of the church in Schwanden in 1349, the Haslers were part of the church in Glarus . In 1528 the inhabitants converted to the reformed faith.

In 1896 the separation from Diesbach took place , so Haslen became an independent municipality.

On July 1, 2006, the previously independent municipalities of Haslen, Leuggelbach and Nidfurn merged to form the new municipality of Haslen. At the same time, the new overall community received a new coat of arms.
