Discovering Pamhagen's History

Pamhagen has a long and interesting past. The town was first mentioned in official records in 1268. In 1547, a special court day was held and written down. Schools were first talked about in 1652, showing that education was important even then.

In 1909, the Pamhagen Credit Union was started. A credit union is like a bank, but it's owned by its members. It helps people save money and get loans.
