Travnjane

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Travnjane were part of the West Slavic tribal association of the Abodrites and lived until 1000 on the central Trave and in the Lübeck basin.

The Travnjane are only mentioned in a falsified version of the Wielkopolska Chronicle ( Chronica Poloniae Maioris ) from the 14th century. The name of the tribe is derived from the settlement area on the Trave. The main castle was the ring wall of Pöppendorf , which was abandoned before the year 1000. There were also ring walls in Pansdorf , Feldhusen, Lockwisch , Bucu , Liubice and Klempau , which are also assigned to the Travnjane. Similar to other Abodritic sub-tribes, the sub-tribe probably lost its identity with the loss of the main castle and merged into another sub-tribe, obviously here in the Wagriern . The tribal area was subsequently part of Wagrien .
