Speyergau
In the Middle Ages , the Speyergau was a county that extended around the city of Speyer . It was one of the central possessions of the Salians . The area of the Speyergau corresponded roughly to that of today's Vorderpfalz including Weißenburg and an area strip south of the Lauter in today's Alsace and the eastern Palatinate Forest. However, the northern border to Wormsgau ran immediately north of Bad Dürkheim to the Rhine.
