Middle Franconia, Administrative region in Bavaria, Germany
Middle Franconia encompasses 7,245 square kilometers of territory between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, with Nuremberg serving as its largest metropolitan center.
The region emerged from the Rezatkreis administrative division in 1837 when King Ludwig I of Bavaria restructured the territorial organization of the kingdom.
The five independent cities of Nuremberg, Ansbach, Erlangen, Fürth, and Schwabach form the centers of education, commerce, and regional traditions.
The region maintains 210 municipalities across seven districts, providing administrative services and infrastructure for 1.8 million residents through local government offices.
The regional coat of arms displays the Hohenzollern black and white pattern alongside the Franconian rake symbol and the imperial eagle.
