history
Hauenstein, in older documents also referred to as Howinstein (1240), Howenstain (1258), Höwenstain (1289), Houwenstein (1350), was once part or possibly the seat of the Gaugrafen des Albgaues . Howenstein is mentioned in a copy from 1383 of the land register of St. Blasien as an acquisition from 1108 . With Lutoldus de Howenstein , the family of the Lords of Hauenstein is first mentioned in a document in 1215.

In contrast to the castle , early mentions of the town of Hauenstein are rare. This can be explained by the fact that the town of Hauenstein was little more than the outer bailey of Hauenstein Castle . The city had an "upper" and a "lower" gate and was therefore fortified. Parts of the city wall still exist today in the form of a house wall. The building was once built outside the city wall with the inclusion of these and can therefore no longer be easily identified today.
Hauenstein came under Habsburg rule at the time of the German interregnum and received a new constitution through the Hauenstein unification of 1433, which obliged all Hauensteiners to jointly defend their rights, Hauenstein was part of the Hochsal unification . The town with the Hauenstein castle belonging to it was the seat of the forest bailiff in the front of Austria until 1500 . Hauenstein was the namesake of the rule there - later referred to as Grafschaft Hauenstein .
In 1317, Hauenstein received town charter , although it lacked essential features, such as a town ban with a court of law, and with the local customs station it formed an important source of income. This customs law, which belonged to the Habsburgs as an imperial fief, was pledged several times. In a remark in his toboggan from 1281 Rudolf von Habsburg determined that the customs of Hauenstein should go to the citizens of Säckingen to rebuild the city fortifications, which were destroyed by fire in 1272. The Säckingen citizens then sold the lien at the Hauensteiner Zoll to the abbot of St. Blasien. In 1379 Leopold of Austria allowed Rudolf von Schönau to redeem Hauenstein and the Black Forest from the pledge of Klaus von Rheinfelden. In a report to Charles the Bold as a pledge holder from 1471, the city of Hauenstein is described as a “market town with poor reinforcement”, which has two gates and two “castles”.
With the later founding of Laufenburg (first mentioned in a document in 1173) and Waldshut (founded in 1249), the town of Hauenstein gradually lost its importance.
Until 1805, Hauenstein belonged to the Landgraviate of Breisgau as part of the unification of Hochsal, then to the Grand Duchy of Baden . The town of Hauenstein existed until December 31, 1971. It was the smallest city in Germany until then , after which it fell to the city of Laufenburg as part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg . Less than 100 people live in Hauenstein today.
The B 34 ran through the village . Above the village, the A 98 route and the Hochrheinbahn pass the Hauenstein Castle, the latter crossing the Mühlbach with a viaduct, which flows into the Rhine here.
