History
editIn 1805 Hausen am Tann, formerly a possession of Austria, became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg, whose government assigned it to Oberamt Balingen. In 1810, it was reassigned to Oberamt Spaichingen and in 1842 to Oberamt Rottweil. In 1938, that district was merged into the new Landkreis Balingen. There was modest development in Hausen after World War II in the 1950s. In 1973, as part of that year's reform of Baden-Württemberg's districts, Balingen's district and by extension Hausen were merged into a new district, Zollernalbkreis. There was some additional development to the north and southwest in the late 1990s.[2]

Coat of arms

This pattern was awarded by the provisional Württemberg-Hohenzollern government on 13 February 1950. A flag was issued by the Zollernalb district office on 31 March 1982.[2]
