Southern Germany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Southern Germany roughly corresponds to the area of Germany south of the Speyer line, where Upper German dialects are spoken.

The term Southern Germany (German: Süddeutschland) is used to describe a region in the south of Germany. There is no specific boundary to the region, but it usually includes Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, and the southern part of Hesse. The Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate are also often included. The region is largely Catholic in contrast to the Protestant north Germany.
