Kaupen

I've seen the word "Kaupen" in a series of records and I cannot determine what it means. I have googled the term and nothing comes up except a location in Germany. I have some doubt if that is what is means in this context because there is another location -Gross Ivanden- listed just before it and that is where the record originates. Now I am beginning to think it is a status or occupation, although it does not seem to easily translate -if at all. I've attached a copy of the image. If anyone can help me out, please send me a note!!
