history

Village view from 1646

The place was probably founded in the 8th century, but was first mentioned in a document in 1072.

The logo of the State Museum for Prehistory of Saxony-Anhalt in Halle (Saale) is a stylized representation of the equestrian stone from Hornhausen from the 7th century . Since 2007 it has also been run by the Börde district, which was newly merged at the time.

A copper engraving of the village view from 1646 in the collection of contemporary history from the “ Theatrum Europaeum ” (Volume 5) by Matthäus Merian shows the world's first printed pictorial representation of a bookseller with a book stand.

On September 30, 1928, the Hornhausen manor district was merged with the rural community of Hornhausen.

The Oschersleben – Gunsleben railway line, which passed Hornhausen to the south, was shut down on July 1, 1997. A second railway line through Hornhausen was the Oschersleben-Schöninger Railway (OSE), which - interrupted from 1947 by the inner-German border - ran from Oschersleben via Hornhausen to Hötensleben until 1969.

• The Catholic Church " Holy Cross " was on the western edge of the village. After a parish of displaced people had formed, the foundation stone was laid in 1957 for the conversion of a barn into a church, and it was inaugurated on September 28 of the same year. A small, cross-crowned roof turret with a bell and a gallery in the interior were also built. The Protestant church was previously used. Most recently, the “Heiliges Kreuz” church belonged to the “ St. Marien ” parish with its seat in Oschersleben, but it has hardly been used in recent years. In 2012 it was profaned and sold, until today (as of October 2014) there has been no subsequent use.
