course

The salt arch runs from the Thuringian Forest south of the city of Bad Salzungen along towards the west. As to the exact course, as well as the course of the dialect boundaries in this area, different and no really precise information can be found in the literature.

Origin and historical significance

The salt arch was of great importance in the Middle Ages, first as the border between the Ringgau as part of the Duchy of Thuringia and the Tullifeld or the Grabfeld as part of the Duchy of Franconia , then as the border between the Landgraviate of Thuringia and the Diocese of Würzburg and later or briefly as a border between the Landgraviate of Thuringia and the Franconian County of Henneberg .

After the south of today's Wartburg district had belonged to the Franconian Empire at least since 531 and was largely settled by Franks as part of the German East Settlement from around the 6th century , the salt brines of the city of Bad Salzungen were heavily contested between Franconia , Hesse and Thuringia , so that the ownership rights in this area changed several times and sometimes complex. According to this situation, the Bad Salzung area, sometimes also the entire Henneberger Land , is often assigned a bridging function between Franconia , Hesse and Thuringia , which is at least linguistically conspicuous in the transitional dialects West Thuringian and Rhöner Platt .
