Middle Palatinate
Mittelpfalz is an indefinite geographical term that was and is used for different areas of the historical Electoral Palatinate and today's Palatinate region . In today's parlance, however, the term is hardly established.
Concept history
In the past, different areas were called the Middle Palatinate, as the exact location and extent of the Electoral Palatinate changed. At times in the 18th century, places throughout the Electoral Palatinate, d. H. in today's Rhein-Neckar-Kreis , today's Pfalz and Rheinhessen , counted to the Middle Palatinate . Around 1800 the city of Bretten in what is now the district of Karlsruhe was called the “capital of the Middle Palatinate ”, probably because of its location on the trunk road from the Palatinate (Bavaria) to the Upper Palatinate .
The use as an independent term must be distinguished from the use in proper names, such as in BRH - Rettungshundestaffel Mittelpfalz or in Regional Planning Community Middle Palatinate . The latter was created in 1964 in Kaiserslautern for planning purposes as a voluntary amalgamation of the city of Kaiserslautern and the districts of Kaiserslautern , Kirchheimbolanden , Kusel and Rockenhausen and merged in 1968 in the West Palatinate planning community .
