 "Linde", meaning limeBrE/lindenAE tree, would extend the compound "Holzhausen" to mean "hamlet/settlement with the lime/linden tree (in the clearing) in/[at the edge of] the forest/wood".Although this method of identifying a location may seem somewhat arbitrary, it does uniquely identify the village within the whole of Germany; a query for "Holzhausen" in the online postal code index (PLZ suchen) of the German Post returns 71 results, whereas a query for Lindenholzhausen" returns just one.As if rendering homage to its distinguishing nature, a single lime/linden tree is depicted on the escutcheon of the village's coat of arms.
