Location and transport links

Hausen is about three kilometers east of the core town of Mayen on the L 98 . The B 262 runs past the western edge of the village, and the A 48 runs two and a half kilometers southeast .

A post office was designated in Hausen as early as 1699; Mayen followed in 1816. With the opening of the railway line on November 12, 1904, the transport of letters between Mayen and Hausen was switched from the stagecoach to the train. In 1958 mail was moved from rail to road.

St. New Year's Church

The origin of the Catholic Church of St. Silvester can be assumed to be at the end of the 12th century; it was a two-aisled pillar basilica with a semicircular choir. A pastor from "Huyssen" was first mentioned around 1330. In the period from 1330 to 1340 the Romanesque choir was laid down, the nave was lengthened and the high-Gothic choir with a five-eighth end was built. The aisle was probably demolished during this time, so that the church was now single-aisle. In 1932 it received today's aisles designed by the Cologne architect Willy Weyres. What is striking is the small piece of the older roof that has been preserved in the west, which because of the gable is left significantly higher than the roof of the rest of the church. The roof turret with a Welscher hood over the west gable was built in 1668.

The church's furnishings include a baroque high altar made of wood with a cafeteria made of tuff . It shows a depiction of the Assumption of Mary painted in oil on canvas , probably a work from the early 18th century. At the top of the altar is a 65 centimeter high statue of St. New Year's Eve. The tabernacle is more recent. During the renovation in 1932, the altar was moved to a side aisle. The current community altar is from 1979.

tradition

According to a centuries-old legend, Pope Silvester I († 335) is said to have ridden through Hausen on the way from Rome to Trier, where his horse lost a horseshoe. The hoof was shod again in Hausen, and the iron that was later found found a worthy place in the church. Every year on December 31, the New Year's Eve ride commemorates this legendary event. Horsemen from Hausen and the surrounding area meet at St. Silvester's Church, where the pastor blesses them and their horses with holy water. Then they ride around the church three times, led by the pastor in liturgical robes and also on horseback, before a solemn service begins.

If the legend has a historical background, Hausen should be around 1700 years old.
