Now it's referred to as the Rhineland Pfalz and it means the same area that the other families came from. Rhineland-Palatinate [puh-lat'-i-nayt] can today be found in the middle Rhine River valley in the west of Germany, bordering France and the state of Saarland to the south, Luxembourg and Belgium to the west, and the states of Nordrhein-Westfalen [North Rhine-Westphalia], Hessen and Baden-Wüttemberg to the north, east and southeast, respectively. The capital is Mainz. Other important cities are Kaiserslautern, Koblenz [Coblenz], Ludwigshafen, Pirmasens and Trier. It should not be confused with Oberpfalz [Upper Palatinate] which is part of present-day Bayern [Bavaria]. The state has an area of 19,850 square kilometers (7,664 square miles) and a population of 4.030.773 (1999) (2.055.512 women and 1.975.261 men). This are 203 persons per square kilometer. Prior to German unification in 1871, parts of this area were called the Rheinpfalz and was owned by the kingdom of Bavaria.
