**Haserich** is an *[Ortsgemeinde](/source/Ortsgemeinde_(Germany))* – a [municipality](/source/Municipalities_of_Germany) belonging to a *[Verbandsgemeinde](/source/Verbandsgemeinde)*, a kind of collective municipality – in the [Cochem-Zell](/source/Cochem-Zell) [district](/source/Districts_of_Germany) in [Rhineland-Palatinate](/source/Rhineland-Palatinate), [Germany](/source/Germany).

## Geography

The municipality lies in the [Hunsrück](/source/Hunsr%C3%BCck) in a sunken valley of the Flaumbach near *[Bundesstraße](/source/Bundesstra%C3%9Fe)* 421.

## History

In 1504, Haserich had its first documentary mention. On 20 January 1690, during the [Nine Years' War](/source/Nine_Years'_War) (known in Germany as the *Pfälzischer Erbfolgekrieg*, or War of the Palatine Succession), Haserich was plundered by [French](/source/France) troops, and partly burnt. The [Counts of Sponheim](/source/County_of_Sponheim) held the court jurisdiction in the *Hasericher Pflege* (roughly "Haserich fostering") until 1788. Beginning in 1794, Haserich lay under [French](/source/France) rule. In 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of [Prussia](/source/Prussia) at the [Congress of Vienna](/source/Congress_of_Vienna). Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded [state](/source/States_of_Germany) of [Rhineland-Palatinate](/source/Rhineland-Palatinate). Under the *Verwaltungsvereinfachungsgesetz* ("Administration Simplification Law") of 18 July 1970, with effect from 7 November 1970, the municipality was grouped into the [*Verbandsgemeinde* of Zell](/source/Zell_(Verbandsgemeinde)).
