Hausach (German: [ˈhaʊzax] ⓘ; Low Alemannic: Huusä) is a city in the Ortenaukreis, in western Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

Hausach was founded in the 13th century, below Husen Castle. In the 14th century, it became a possession of the County of Fürstenberg, who gave the town its charter and maintained a residence in it. In 1806, Hausach was mediatized to the Grand Duchy of Baden. The town was assigned in 1813 to the district of Haslach, but in 1857 was reassigned to the district of Wolfach. In 1939, that district was reorganized as Landkreis Wolfach [de]. On 1 Jul 1971, the town of Einbach was incorporated into Hausach. As a result of the 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform [de], Hausach was assigned to the Ortenau district.[2]
