so if middle germany is misleading and central germany is really wrong what can we call it middle germany is a germanism hi everyone i turned this into a disambiguation page with a new page for the economic cultural region called central germany saxony anhalt thuringia so please link accordingly the german wikipedia isn't arranged that way but this isn't the german wikipedia also i don't want to be dogmatic against the phrase middle germany i won't change this or this but in english it's not common to describe central areas as middle the only other examples i could think of were middle earth and the middle east so called because it's midway to the far east and apparently middle congo moyen congo existed from c middle england and middle america describe the social middle class but the metropolregion mitteldeutschland called itself the central german metropolitan region because that's the best translation thanks
