Southern Germany (German: Süddeutschland) is the region in the south of Germany. While there is no specific boundary, it usually includes all of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Historically, this corresponds to the stem duchies of Swabia and Bavaria. The Saarland and the southern parts of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate are also often included, corresponding to historical Franconia.
