Attractions

St. Nicholas Church

The Protestant parish church of St. Nicholas is worth seeing . This former chapel of a peculiar shape is of Romanesque origin and was rebuilt in the 15th, 16th and 19th centuries. The interior got its present appearance around 1700. The winged altar dates from around 1500 and the organ from 1842.

Economy and Transport

The best-known company from Hausen is the Naturerlebnishof , an organic farm in the former mill, which on the one hand produces products for sale on the farm, but on the other hand also accepts holiday guests and organizes events for school classes. The farm keeps water buffalo and Cameroon sheep , among other things, and is committed to environmental and nature conservation. Several episodes of the docu-soap The Buffalo Ranch were filmed in the yard.

Streets connect Hausen with Marlishausen in the north, Görbitzhausen in the south and Branchewinda in the southwest. Arnstadt is six kilometers northwest and the A71 Arnstadt-Süd exit about two kilometers north. The Arnstadt – Saalfeld railway line runs through Hausen, and the nearest train station is about one kilometer north in Marlishausen.
