Gäu (district) – also gives the etymology and language history of ''Gäu''
* Gäu – regions with the name
* Natu ...
In the south German language (of the Alemannic-speaking area, or in Switzerland), a ''gäu'' landscape (''gäulandschaft'') refers to an area of open, level countryside. These regions typically have fertile soils resulting from depositions of loess (an exception is the ''Arme Gäue'' Poor Gäus"of the Baden-Württemberg Gäu). The intensive use of the ''Gäu'' regions for crops has displaced the originally wooded countryside (→''climax vegetation'' – in contrast with the steppe heath theory and disputed megaherbivore hypothesis). The North German equivalent of such landscapes is ''börde.'' See also * Gau (territory) ''Gau'' (German , nl, gouw , fy, gea or ''goa'' ) is a Germanic term for a region within a country, often a former or current province.
