Lower Franconia ((ドイツ語:Unterfranken)) is one of the three administrative regions of Franconia in Bavaria (seven regions), Germany (22 regions in five Federal States, 11 Federal States are not subdivided into regions). The district was formed in 1817 under the name of ''Untermainkreis'' (Lower Main District) and renamed in 1837 as ''Unterfranken und Aschaffenburg'' (Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg). In 1933 the regional Nazi Gauleiter Otto Hellmuth insisted on renaming the district ''Mainfranken'', but after 1945 the name ''Unterfranken'' was resurrected. Unterfranken is the north-west part of Franconia and consists of three district-free cities ("Kreisfreie Städte") and nine country districts ("Landkreise"). The major portion of the Franconian wine region is situated in Lower Franconia. ==Coat of arms== The Coat of Arms includes the Arms of Duchy of Franconia in the upper portion, the “Rennfähnlein,” a banner, quarterly argent (silver) and gules (red), on a lance or (gold), in bend, on an azure (blue) field, associated with Würzburg in the lower left quadrant, and a white/silver wheel on a red field symbolizing the clerical state of Mainz, in the lower right quadrant. 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「Lower Franconia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
