Wingarteiba
Wingarteiba , also Wingartheiba or later also Wingartau , was a medieval district .
It was located in the southwest of the later Duchy of Eastern Franconia between the eastern Odenwald and the lower reaches of the Jagst in the north of today's Baden-Württemberg .
The Gau is mentioned in numerous donation deeds of the Lorsch Codex towards the end of the 8th century as a supplement to the location of places. Therefore, it can be described relatively precisely locally. It therefore included, among other things, today's locations (clockwise): Binau , Neckarburken , Dallau , Schefflenz , Großeicholzheim , Kleineicholzheim , Scheringen , Buchen (Odenwald) , Walldürn , Hardheim , Oberwittstadt , Unterwittstadt , Bieringen (Schöntal) and Möckmühl . In the west, the Gau extended up to and including Amorbach and from there south, roughly along the Mud .
Wingarteiba bordered on the west by West Francia , in the north on the Waldsassengau , on the east by the Taubergau and the south by the Jagstgau .
The Gau largely coincides with today's Neckar-Odenwald district and roughly with the not precisely demarcated area, which is colloquially known as Baden Siberia . In contrast to the latter, the name Wingarteiba apparently refers to warmer times and is evidence of viticulture .
