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 Oberamt Balingen [de]. In 1810, it was reassigned to Oberamt Spaichingen [de] and in 1842 to Oberamt Rottweil [de]. In 1938, that district was merged into the new Landkreis Balingen [de]. 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 [de], 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
Hausen's coat of arms displays two white foothold trap jaws upon a field of blue. It was adapted from the arms of Dietrich Spät [de], who was lord of the village until his death in 1530. 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]
