Surname
The name "Hauk", "Haug" or Middle High German "Houc" is related to high or hill . Hauckwald could therefore be interpreted as a hill forest. From the original form of settlement Alzenau, the Hauckwald rose as a hill behind the houses. The defining word Hauck was transferred to the entire area, from the Kahl to the boundary of Wasserlos . It was found in the names "Hauckbruch" (in the area of today's Welzheimer Strasse) and "Hauckländer" (in the Breite Wiese ) that no longer exist today .
