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]
