Swabia

Swabia (German: Schwaben) is both a historic and linguistic (see Swabian German) region in Germany. Swabia consists largely of the present-day state of Baden-Württemberg, as well as the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia. In the Middle Ages, Vorarlberg, the modern principality of Liechtenstein and most of modern Switzerland and Alsace (nowadays belonging to France) were also considered to be a part of Swabia.
