Sundergau
The Sundergau was a medieval county in what is now Upper Bavaria . The name refers to the location of the Gaus in the country and means "Südgau" (opposite the Bavarian Nordgau north of the Danube and the Westgau on the Isar ). The Sundergau stretched between the Isar in the west and the Inn in the east and thus encompassed most of the Mangfall valley . Around 800 the landscape is also called Alpacowe ( Alpengau ). In the High Middle Ages the area was mostly owned by the Falkensteinersbefore it was at the end of the 13th century after the murder of Count Sigebothus VI. fell to the Wittelsbach family . Today the Sundergau is largely equated with the Altkreis Aibling . In addition to the Wittelbach possessions, the core area was the imperial county of Hohenwaldeck and the territory of the Tegernsee monastery . The Miesbach costume developed in the Sundergau area .
The Sundergau is to be distinguished from the Sundgau in Alsace and from the Königssondergau in Hesse .
Counts in Sundergau were:
- Sieghard, Count in Chiemgau and Sundergau, perhaps father of Bishop Pilgrim von Passau († 991)
- Leopold , † 994, 962 Graf im Traungau , Sundergau and Donaugau , Margrave of the Bavarian Ostmark 976–994
- Arnulf, attested around 935, † around 1002, possibly son of Count Palatine Arnulf of Bavaria
- Friedrich, † after July 1027, 1003 Graf im Sundergau (see Staufer , see also Grafschaft Dießen )
