Name customer

Settlement names on -inghausen are a variant of the names on -hausen that are common throughout the German-speaking area . They contain a personal name as a qualifier. Adding the suffix -ing denotes a group of people who belong to this person. The basic word hausen is in the dative plural and means something like "at the houses". A place name of the form personal name + -ing + -hausen was used to designate a "settlement of the people of ...". Ostfälische place names on -inehausen go back to an inflected -ing derivation (-ingo / -inga) . As with Barsinghausen , -inghusen may have been shortened to -inghusen . In Westphalian, -ing was usually combined with -husen without inflection .

Not all place names that end in -inghausen today go back to the origin described. For example, Messinghausen was formed from a personal name and -husen and was only later adjusted to a name in -inghausen .

variants

The Low German form is -inghusen ; it is also in many old documents. Abbreviated forms are -ingsen and -ingen . The names in -ingsen , which are often used around Soest today, still have the spelling -inghusen / inghausen in some cases after the 17th century . It is about a juxtaposition of the written and spoken form, as it is in today's Low German.

There are place names in -ingen that are derived from a name in -inghausen , e.g. B. Hünningen near Ense ; but other original forms are also possible for such names.
