Hauneck is a municipality in Hersfeld-Rotenburg district in eastern Hesse, Germany. In 972 came the first documentary mention of a chapel. It is believed to have served as a pilgrimage place. The village developing here had its first documentary mention in 1217 in a document from the abbot of Hersfeld Abbey, Ludwig I to the Vogt (roughly "reeve") Bertho von Buchenau, in which the place is named as Cruceberc. The chapel served over the centuries that followed as a village church. In the 16th century, the village was forsaken, until the late 17th century when another place, called Unterhaun, arose here. In 1736, the community acquired a new village church. Subsequently, the old chapel up on a bank overlooking the community fell into ruins in this century. More information...
