Neuhausen

Neuhausen is a German toponym used for several towns and districts in German-speaking regions. The name combines neu, meaning new, with hausen (a suffix used for settlements), and it is commonly found in both Switzerland and Germany.

In Switzerland, Neuhausen am Rheinfall is a municipality in the canton of Schaffhausen, located on the Rhine River near the Rhine Falls, a popular tourist site. The municipality lies close to the German border and is part of the northern Swiss region.

In Germany, the name appears in several places. Neuhausen auf den Fildern is a municipality in the district of Esslingen, Baden-Württemberg, situated near the Stuttgart metropolitan area. Neuhausen ob Eck is a municipality in the district of Tuttlingen, Baden-Württemberg, in the south of the state. Additionally, Neuhausen exists as a district of the city of Munich in Bavaria (often referred to together with Nymphenburg as Neuhausen-Nymphenburg), a residential and urban area with a variety of services and historic sites.

Beyond these examples, Neuhausen may also appear as a locality or subdivision within other municipalities in German-speaking regions. Because it is a common place name, the specific Neuhausen is typically identified by its larger administrative district or by the country to avoid confusion.
