Hausen am Tann is a town in the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

In 1805 Hausen am Tann, formerly a possession of Austria, became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg, whose government assigned it to {{ill|Oberamt Balingen|de}}. In 1810, it was reassigned to {{ill|Oberamt Spaichingen|de}} and in 1842 to {{ill|Oberamt Rottweil|de}}. In 1938, that district was merged into the new {{ill|Landkreis Balingen|de}}. There was modest development in Hausen after World War II in the 1950s. In 1973, as part of {{ill|1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform|de|Kreisreform Baden-Württemberg 1973|lt=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.{{cite web|title=Hausen am Tann|url=https://www.leo-bw.de/web/guest/detail-gis/-/Detail/details/ORT/labw_ortslexikon/16409/Hausen+am+Tann|website=LEO-BW|publisher=Baden-Württemberg|language=de|accessdate=16 July 2020}}
