what would be someone who is 'auff dir lochen'?
From an Alsace 1670 marriage record which describes the groom Hans Roth what I read as 'auff der Lochen' (or Lachen?). What would that be?
Transcription
:A. 1670
:Eadem [preceding record: Samstags den 7. Junii] wurden eingesegnet nach gewohnlicher außruffung Hans Roth auff der Lochen, Michel Roth hindlaßener Ehelicher Sohn, und J. Eva, Lorentz Rothen, Bürgers zu Mundoltzheim Eheliche Tochter,.
Translation

:The same date [preceding record: Saturday the 7 June] were blessed in marriage after the usual announcing, Hans Roth, xxx, surviving Legitimate Son of Michel Roth, and Maiden Eva, Legitimate Daughter of Lorentz Roth, Citizen at Mundoltzheim.

I would guess that "auf der Lochen" or similar is a specification of a locality. I may also have become part of the name already. In the other record it may be "Lochenbauer" which would have the same quality.

In a 1675 birth record (#12), he looks to be referred to as 'den lachen beuren'

@Ulrich Neitzel : it appears in a couple of other places like when he witnessed his sister's marriage as 'Hanß Roth der lachenbaler' , so I think it is an occupation or post. Will leave it at that for now! Thanks!
