Hörn

Hörn is a toponym used in German-speaking regions and in Denmark. The name derives from the German word horn, meaning corner, angle, or horn-shaped projection, and is commonly linked to geographical features such as headlands, promontories, or land protrusions into water.

The term appears in numerous place names as a standalone name or as part of longer designations. It is especially prevalent in northern Germany and in areas with historical Danish influence, where variants in spelling or pronunciation have also occurred.

In many cases, Hörn refers to a physical feature in the landscape rather than a separate administrative entity. When used for settlements, Hörn is typically a small village or a neighborhood within a larger municipality, and its governance falls under the jurisdiction of the surrounding town or district.

Given the multiple uses of the name, precise information about a specific Hörn depends on the local context. If a particular Hörn is of interest, providing the region or country will allow for more detailed historical, geographic, and administrative information.
