Is Hausen an old German word? The plural for Haus in Hochdeutsch is Häuser.

It's the old dative plural (Old High German bī hūsum, Middle High German bī den hūsen means "by the houses"), which is an extremely common form in German place-names. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:22, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
