History

Hausham was created from the town of Agatharied on 27 April 1922. This was due to Hausham's growth through coal mining.

The first brown coal 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, Hausham was the location of two subcamps of the Dachau concentration camp, one for men and one for women. [3] On 29 April 1945, Hausham was captured by American troops. [3]

Hausham is located on a direct railway line to Munich and has two stations: (Hausham and Agatharied). The line is operated by the private railway Bayerische Oberlandbahn. In addition to rail links, the Hausham area is served by the RVO local bus service.
