The Breisgauer (Latin: Brisgavi or Brisigavi ) were an Alemannic tribe in the 5th century, in the area of ​​today's Breisgau .

From the year 354, Vadomar (lat. Vadomarius ) and his brother Gundomad (lat. Gundomadus ) have come down to us as Gau kings of the Breisgauer. In 368 the son of Vadomar, Gaukönig Vithicab (lat. Vithicabius ), was murdered at the instigation of the Romans. In more recent research, however, the assignment of the three named Gau Kings to the Breisgau is controversial, as the existence of a tribe of the Brisgavi during the lifetime of these Gau Kings cannot be proven. The first, albeit indirect, mention of the landscape name brisgavi was only made between 395 and 398 in the Notitia Dignitatum .
