| The approximate location of Tilithigau |
The Tilithigau (also Gau Tilithi) was a Saxon district and part of the Saxon province of Ostfalen .
In addition to Tilithi (including 954, 1004 and 1025) and Thilithi (1024), the following names were used:
- Tilgethi (826-876)
- Tilgidae (896)
- Tilgithi
- Thilethe
- Tilitte
Geographical location
The Tilithigau was located in what is now Lower Saxony , in the Leine / Oberweser-Schauenburg area between Lauenstein (Salzhemmendorf) , Lauenau , Münder and Hameln and was one of the main focuses of the Billunger's family property .
The Gau Zigilde ( Spiegelberg ) was adjacent . Around 980 there was the Gau Wikanafeld near Homburg (Stadtoldendorf) , which was assigned to the Diocese of Hildesheim , while the Tilithigau was assigned to the Diocese of Minden .
In the royal documents are u. a. Fischbeck, Hajen, Börry or Börrie, Kemnade, Tündern, Ohr, Schieder, Daspe, Heinsen, Wenzen, Bödexen or Bödesen, Eilensen or Ellensen, Markoldendorf or Oldendorf, Dassel, Relliehausen and Lüerdissen in connection with the Tilithigau mentioned. Historical research, however, found that the dormer markings were incomplete, because the places are e.g. T. in neighboring Suilbergau .
