Wormsgau, Historical county in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The Wormsgau territory extends along the Upper Rhine river, encompassing the city of Worms and substantial portions of modern Rhenish Hesse and Palatinate regions.

During the 9th century, the region included the city of Mainz and underwent territorial changes, gradually losing northern lands to Nahegau while expanding westward into the Palatinate Forest.

The region developed under Frankish administration, with counts from the Robertian and Salian dynasties managing local governance and establishing administrative structures.

The central location of Wormsgau between Frankfurt and Mainz provided strategic advantages for trade and communication along the Rhine river during medieval times.

The territory served as a power base for the Imperial Salian dynasty, alongside neighboring regions Nahegau and Speyergau, forming central Rhenish Franconian possessions.
