The Thuringii or Toringi were a Germanic tribe which appeared late during the Völkerwanderung in the Harz Mountains of central Germania, in a region which still bears their name to this day — Thuringia. This became a kingdom which came into conflict with the Merovingian Franks, and later came under their influence and Frankish control. Today, the name is still used for one of modern Germany's federal states (Bundesländer).
