German
Etymology
From de gml hus -hûsen. Placenames with this suffix were generally standardized with the High German equivalent de -hausen. Unadapted forms survive mainly, albeit not exclusively, in two regions which adopted written High German comparatively late: de Schleswig-Holstein (where de -husen is predominant) and de Ostfriesland (where both forms appear alongside).
