history
The current municipality of Hausen was created on October 1, 1971 by renaming the previous municipality of Bremscheid in Rhineland-Palatinate. It consists of 17 villages and hamlets, each with its own history, which were part of Kurkölns Honnschaft Bremscheid until 1803 . The name of the core town was possibly a donation of fields and forests in Husen mentioned in 1268 by a certain Mr. de Britsche. A settlement cannot be assumed at this point in time. In 1660 two farms and in 1843 143 inhabitants are documented.
The core location is also closely related to the establishment of the order of the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross in 1862 by the shoemaker Peter Wirth (called Brother James ).
The nucleus of this religious order was the Kreuzkapelle am Wiedufer, built in 1694 in the municipality of Waldbreitbach, but perceived as being on the outskirts of Hausen, which was a popular place of pilgrimage in the 18th century. We are talking about a holy cross that stood in a niche in the rocky mountain that is now called Kapellenberg in the 15th century . The cross was stolen in 1659 and thrown into the Wied and miraculously found again 8 years later. The Waldbreitbacher pastor Bartholomäus Frederici built the chapel in honor of this Holy Cross in front of the cliff; the cross is still kept in the central niche of the altar. Today, however, the Wiedtalstraße cuts through the area, so that the original connection between the rock niche and the chapel is no longer recognizable for today's visitor.
Around 1700 a hermit named Hubertus Quirenbach lived in the chapel; he added a transept and the Klausen in which Rosa Flesch ( mother Rosa ) had lived with her epilepsy sister Marianne in 1851 . The founder of the Waldbreitbach Franciscan Sisters had to give way to Peter Wirth and his companion Anton Weber in 1860; she then settled on the Kapellenberg in the Waldbreitbach district of Glockscheid (today's Marienhaus monastery ).
In 1866 Peter Wirth and his congregation were able to leave the Kreuzkapelle and move into the newly built motherhouse of the order in the core town of Hausen. The monastery church was consecrated in 1906. This complex shapes the architectural form of the place today.

The Malberg is a popular destination in all seasons. In winter it is mainly used by tobogganists. The ski slope created in 1964 with a drag lift and snow cannons was the longest downhill slope for alpine skiing in the larger area. In the absence of snow, the facility, which was dubbed Europe's largest artificial snow slope at the time of construction, was not profitable. After the snow cannons were sold, the T-bar lift has been completely dismantled except for a lift support since 2008.
