The Thuringii, Toringi or Teuriochaimai [1] were an early Germanic [2] people that appeared during the late Migration Period in the Harz Mountains of central Germania, a region still known today as Thuringia. It became a kingdom, which came into conflict with the Merovingian Franks, and it later came under their influence and Frankish control.
- Overview
- History of Thuringia
The Germanic Thuringians appeared after about ad 350 and were conquered by the Huns in the second quarter of the 5th century, but by 500 they had established a large kingdom stretching from the Harz mountains to the Danube. As a result of the defeat of their king, Irminfrid, at Burgscheidungen (in the present-day state of Saxony-Anhalt), on the Unstrut River, by the Frankish kings Theodoric I and Chlotar I in 531, their territory was reduced to the Harz mountains and Thuringian Forest region and was governed by Frankish dukes. In the early 8th century the duchy was divided into countships to reassert royal authority, and St. Boniface converted the Thuringians to Christianity. In 908 the Thuringian March (frontier district), set up by Charlemagne against the Slavs, was seized by Otto, duke of Saxony, whose son, Henry I, duke and German king, halted a Magyar invasion of Thuringia at Riade in 933 and strengthened the defenses of the region. After the Saxon royal dynasty died out in 1024, the Ludowing family, through Louis the Bearded, controlled Thuringia. The grandson of Louis was made landgrave of Thuringia by King Lothar II in 1130.
Landgrave Henry Raspe was elected German ‘‘antiking’’ (against Conrad IV) in 1246; he died the next year. After a war over the long-disputed succession (1256–63), Henry III (the Illustrious), margrave of Meissen, of the house of Wettin, made good his claim and invested his son Albert with Thuringia in 1265. Thuringia thereafter remained a possession of the Wettins, and in the 15th century it was divided between Ernestine Saxony, Hesse-Kassel, and several smaller states. Prussia also received sections of Thuringia at the Congress of Vienna (1814–15) and after the Seven Weeks’ War (1866).

The Thuringians are thought to have been mainly of Anglian stock from what is now lower Denmark. Their kingdom was formed during the collapse of the Roman empire, when Angles migrated southwards from Angeln and settled in central Germany between the Main and the Harz.
