Koyhagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Koyhagen is a desert in the district of Göttingen . It is located around 2 km west of Herzberg am Harz . Koyhagen was first mentioned in a document in 1337, but was probably already given up at this point. Except for a few potsherds in the field, nothing today reminds us that there was once a village here.

The place name is made up of the defining word Koy , which means "cow", and the basic word Hagen (see Hag ), which means an area enclosed by a hedge.
