history

Although Hausen was not mentioned in a document until 1209 ( Husen ), when the Petri-Stift Fritzlar recorded tithe income in Hausen, and Niedernhausen was not mentioned until 1323 ( Husen inferior ), when Johann von Venne sold his goods in Niedernhausen to the Hasungen monastery , the place was Probably settled much earlier: ceramic shards from the Carolingian era were found in the area of ​​the Hausen desert .

Little is known about the history of the two rather small settlements. In Hausen, the Fritzlarer Petri-Stift still had tithes of income in 1310. Both settlements were originally Electoral Mainz fiefdoms , but in 1354, like almost all previous Mainz possessions in Lower and Upper Hesse , came to the Landgraviate of Hesse .
