Hausen ( Swiss German : ˈhuʓə ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Brugg district and is located south of the district capital. Until 2003 the community was officially called Hausen bei Brugg .

geography

The village is located about three kilometers south of the district capital Brugg in a flat, 500 meter wide side valley between the Aare and the Birrfeld . The valley is bordered in the west by the 457 m high Wülpelsberg and in the east by the 500 m high Eitenberg. The Guggerhübel ( 434  m above sea level ) on the southern border of the municipality runs right through the valley and seals it off from the Birrfeld. There is no natural limit in the north, where Hausen has merged seamlessly with Windisch . The Süssbach coming from Birr flows through the middle of the village .

The area of ​​the municipality is 320 hectares , of which 152 hectares are covered with forest and 99 hectares are built over. The highest point is on the summit of the Eiteberg at 500 meters, the lowest at 370 meters on the northern municipal boundary. Neighboring communities are Brugg and Windisch in the north, Mülligen in the east and Lupfig in the south-west and Habsburg in the west.

history

Two aqueducts from the former legionary camp of Vindonissa from the 1st century AD stretch across today's municipal area Operation is. Today (2019) the approximately 2.4 km long gravity pipeline still feeds a fountain built around 1870 in front of the old main building of the Königsfelden Clinic (today PDAG ). The second, dead (no longer intact) Roman aqueduct was identified as an independent line during archaeological investigations between 1928 and 1931. With a length of at least 3.3 km, it originally represented the larger structure.

A Roman road led through what is now the municipality , and traces of a villa rustica came to light. In 1861 a farmer found a pot with around 340 coins dating from AD 276 to 341.

Husen was first mentioned in a document in 1254. The place name comes from the Old High German ( ze) husun and means "near the houses". In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to Eigenamt , the oldest possession of the Habsburgs , whose headquarters are only a few kilometers away on the Wülpelsberg. In 1397 they transfer the land and judicial rule to the Königsfelden monastery in neighboring Windisch .

After the conquest of Aargau by the Confederates in 1415, the city of Bern took over the rule, the self-office was now part of the subject areas in the Bernese Aargau . In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation and dissolved the Königsfelden monastery. They converted their own office to the Landvogtei Königsfelden and then exercised all rights. In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Hausen has belonged to the canton of Aargau.

Agriculture and viticulture were predominant until well into the 20th century , but today only a few farms remain and the vines have completely disappeared. Instead, Hausen turned more and more into a residential community. Since 1950 the population has more than quadrupled. In 1928 a cement factory was built , but it went bankrupt a little later. The buildings were taken over by the chemical company Reichhold AG, which relocated production abroad in 1993. The railway line from Brugg station to Hendschiken was opened on June 1, 1882, but the community still does not have its own station. The Reformed Church has existed since 1978 . In 2003 the municipality officially deleted the addition “bei Brugg” in the municipality name.
