List of medieval districts

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The medieval districts around 1000

The following list of medieval districts is under construction and therefore incomplete.

It collects landscape names from the Franconian Gau constitution, some of which are still widely used today, but some are only used regionally, especially in custom . Their location is often no longer generally known, but is usually assumed to be known in publications. Where a lot was already known about a district, but not so much that it would have received its own article, here are at least bullet points.

  • Chiemgau (Upper Bavaria)
  • Gau Chutizi (around Leipzig)
  • Gau Ciervisti (probably to be equated with the Gau Zizizi, at the confluence of the Elbe and Saale around today's Zerbst )
  • Gau Circipani , around the Teterower See in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
  • Gau Coledizi (Saxony-Anhalt) between Halle and Köthen
