Skåneland
Skåneland is a name that was mostly used around 1900 for a historical unit of landscapes in what is now southern Sweden . In German history they are called Übersundische Provinces , i.e. the provinces on the other side of the Øresund . Historians of the Swedish language speak of Skånelandskapen or de skånska landskapen ( Skåne Provinces ), the Danish term is Skånelandene ( Skåne Lands ). In poetic language, Skåneland is also used as a paraphrase for Skåne in Swedish .
Skåneland comprises the provinces in which Scena law was in force from the beginning of the 13th century until 1683 . In the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Denmark had to cede these important provinces to Sweden: Scania (Skåne), Halland and Blekinge . Bornholm was one of them and also fell to Sweden, but returned to Denmark two years later through the Peace of Copenhagen .
The term Skåneland is derived from the Latin Terra Scaniæ and was first used in 1868 by the history professor Martin Weibull in his magazine Samlingar till Skånes historia (collections on the history of Skåne). 1903–1923 the Historisk Tidskrift för Skåneland (Historical Journal for Skåneland) was published.
