## History

Hausham was created from the town of [Agatharied](/source/Agatharied) on 27 April 1922. This was due to Hausham's growth through coal mining.

The first [brown coal](/source/Lignite) mine was opened in 1860 but couldn't compete with the cheaper fossil oil and mineral coal and closed 106 years later in 1966.

During [World War II](/source/World_War_II), Hausham was the location of two subcamps of the [Dachau concentration camp](/source/Dachau_concentration_camp), one for men and one for women.[2] On 29 April 1945, Hausham was captured by American troops.[2]
