WHAT DOES FRANCONIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Franconia

Franconia

The term of Franconia is today commonly used to refer to the eastern part of the historic Duchy of Franconia in Germany, mainly represented by the Bavarian administrative districts of Lower Franconia, Middle Franconia, and Upper Franconia. Due to the respective local East Franconian German dialects, the adjacent northeastern parts of the Heilbronn-Franken region in Baden-Württemberg, parts of Thuringia south of the Rennsteig ridge, and a small part of Hesse are also considered as Franconian regions. The two largest cities of Franconia are Nuremberg and Würzburg. Though located on the southeastern periphery, the Nuremberg metropolitan area is often identified as the economic and cultural centre of Franconia.

Definition of Franconia in the English dictionary
