The Thuringian states ((ドイツ語:Thüringische Staaten)) refers to the following German federal states within the German Reich: *The Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (officially the Grand Duchy of Saxony from 1903) *The duchies of Saxe-Altenburg, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Saxe-Meiningen *The principalities of Reuss Elder Line, Reuss Younger Line, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen == Territory == These lands were bordered to the north and west by Prussian regions, especially the ''Regierungsbezirk'' of Erfurt, but also those of Kassel and Merseburg, in places as enclaves. In addition numerous Prussian exclaves were mixed up among the Thuringian states. These were the county (''Landkreis'') of Schleusingen and town of Suhl, the county of Herrschaft Schmalkalden and Barchfeld, the region around Wandersleben and Mühlberg, the county of Ziegenrück and town of Ranis, and the villages of Kamsdorf, Blankenberg, Sparnberg, Blintendorf and Gefell, which belonged to the county of Ziegenrück but were separated from it. Other Prussian exclaves were the villages of Abtlöbnitz near Camburg and Kischlitz near Eisenberg. To the east, the Kingdom of Saxony was the neighbouring state, which also had various exclaves. These were Liebschwitz near Gera with the municipalities and lands of Lengefeld, Liebschwitz, Lietzsch, Niebra, Pösneck, and Taubenpreskeln, as well as the neighbouring municipalities of Hilbersdorf, Loitzsch, Rückersdorf, Thonhausen and Grobsdorf. Also worth mentioning are the municipality of Bocka near Altenburg and Kauritz near Meerane. The ''Kleinstaaterei'' was highly valued, but on the territory of the present Free State of Thuringia in the early 20th century there were eight small states (''Kleinstaaten''), Prussian areas in several provinces (''Regierungsbezirken'') and several small Saxon exclaves. The fragmentation of the states was made particularly acute because the little states did not form single enclosed territories, but were scattered in a confusing melange. In 1913 there was an exchange of land between Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and Saxe-Meiningen. The Meiningen village of Lichtenhain outside Jena was exchanged for parts of Kranichfeld that belonged to Weimar. In principle less sensible: it did lead to a tidying up of the boundaries in Kranichfeld, but the Meiningen exclave of Kranichfeld was not removed, but enlarged. Apparently Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach could not or would not offer other land for exchange. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thuringian states」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
