GroßHolz

Großholz is a German toponym meaning "great wood" or "large forest." The name is formed from Groß and Holz and is used to denote places with historic or present associations with woodland. The toponym occurs in various German-speaking regions, primarily in Germany but also in Austria and parts of Switzerland, where it can appear as the name of a village, a district within a town, a hamlet, or as a component of longer place names.

In historical sources, Großholz often appears in charters, land records, and maps as a description of land near a forest or as a boundary marker. Over time, some instances of Großholz have become independent settlements or integrated into larger municipalities. In modern administrative usage, Großholz may exist as a neighborhood, a cadastral area, or a street name rather than as a separate municipality.

Großholz is also a German surname. People bearing the name may originate from families living near an area called Großholz.

Variant forms include Groß-Holz and Kleinholz as related toponyms. The term reflects a common Germanic naming pattern of using natural features to describe locations.
