Haus (historically Hougs) is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county, Norway. The 198.5-square-kilometre (76.6 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The area is now divided between Osterøy Municipality and Bergen Municipality in the traditional district of Nordhordland in Vestland county. The administrative centre was the village of Haus where Haus Church is located. Other villages in the municipality included Indre Arna, Ytre Arna, Trengereid, and Espeland.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1964, the 198.5-square-kilometre (76.6 sq mi) municipality was the 372nd largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Haus Municipality was the 60th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 10,843. The municipality's population density was 54.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (141/sq mi) and its population had increased by 16.4% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

[edit]
View of Haus Church

The parish of Haus (historically spelled "Hougs") was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1870, the municipality was divided: the northeastern half (population: 2,062) became the new Bruvik Municipality and the rest of the municipality (population: 4,229) remained as a smaller Haus Municipality.[9]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Haus Municipality was dissolved and its lands were divided. The part of Haus Municipality that was situated on the island of Osterøy was transferred to the new Osterøy Municipality and the remaining part of Haus (on the mainland) formed the new Arna Municipality.[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Haus farm (Old Norse: Hauss) since the first Haus Church was built there. The name is identical with the word hauss which means "skull". It is likely referring to the shape of a nearby mountain. Historically, the name was spelled Hougs.[10][11]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway had three parishes (sokn) within Haus Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Haus prestegjeld and the Osterøy prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.[8]

Geography

[edit]

The municipality encompassed the southern part of the island of Osterøy as well as the mainland area across the Sørfjorden from the island to the east, south, and west (although the municipality was quite a bit larger when it was first created in 1838). The highest point in the municipality was the 987-metre (3,238 ft) tall mountain Gullfjelltoppen, located on the border with Samnanger Municipality.[1]

Hosanger Municipality was located to the north, Bruvik Municipality was located to the east, Samnanger Municipality was located to the southeast, Fana Municipality was located to the south, the city of Bergen was located to the southwest, Åsane Municipality was located to the west, and Hamre Municipality was located to the northwest.

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Haus Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Gulating Court of Appeal.
