Upper Palatinate

Germany

Upper Palatinate, a district in Bavaria, connects to 1745 places across 15 topics through 51 Bunkabop connections, with history and governance as the dominant threads. Its strongest ties run to Bavaria and Germany, followed by Bohemia, Czech Republic and Austria. When Frederick V, Elector Palatine, failed in his claim to the Bohemian throne in 1619 to 1620, the region was declared forfeit to the Holy Roman Emperor and transferred to the Duchy of Bavaria, a shift that shaped its dynastic and political orbit for centuries.
