Thuringia (English spelling)
|
A historical region name in Germany. Located in the center of Germany, it stretches from the Bela River in the east to the Saale River in the west, from the mountainous region of the Thuringian Forest in the north to the foothills of the Harz Mountains in the south. It includes cities such as Eisenach, Gotha, Erfurt, Weimar, and Jena. The name comes from the Thuringians, a Germanic tribe. In the 9th century, Charles I (the Great) established the County of Mark as a line of defense against the Slavs. In the late Middle Ages, it became part of the Duchy of Saxony of the Wettin family, but since the 16th century, it has been divided into several small principalities through inheritance. Some of these continued to exist in the German Confederation and the Second Empire. After World War II, it became a Soviet occupation zone, and then became part of East Germany. Since 1952, it has been divided into the provinces of Erfurt, Suhl, Gera, and Leipzig. It is also important in cultural history, having produced such figures as M. Luther and Bach, and Saxony-Weimar being a center of classical literature. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |

ドイツの歴史的地方名。ドイツの中央部にあり，東はベラ川から西はザーレ川に及び，北はチューリンゲン森の山地から南はハルツ山脈のふもとにわたる。アイゼナハ，ゴータ，エルフルト，ワイマール，イェナなどの都市を含む。地名はゲルマンの一部族チューリンゲン人に由来する。9世紀にカルル1世 (大帝)によって，スラブ人に対する防衛線としてマルク伯領が設けられた。中世末期にウェッティン家のザクセン公国の一部となったが，16世紀以来分割相続によっていくつかの小公国に分裂。そのいくつかはドイツ連邦，第二帝国にも存続した。第2次世界大戦後はソ連占領地区となり，その後東ドイツの一部となり，1952年以降は，エルフルト，ズール，ゲーラ，ライプチヒ各県に分割された。 M.ルターやバッハらを生み出し，ザクセン＝ワイマールは古典文学の中心となるなど，文化史的にも重要。
