Swabia (
German: Schwaben) is one of the seven
administrative regions of
Bavaria,
Germany, located in southwest Bavaria. It was formed out of the part of the historic region of
Swabia which was annexed by Bavaria in
1803. It was once formally ruled by dukes of the
Hohenstaufen dynasty. During the Nazi period, the area was separated from the rest of Bavaria to become the Reichsgau Swabia. It was re-incorporated into Bavaria after the war.
