The Gau Westmark (English: ''Western March'') was an administrative division of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. From 1925 to 1933, it was a regional subdivision of the Nazi Party.

This ''Gau'' was renamed ''Gau Saarpfalz'' (English:''Saar-Palatinate'') on 13 January 1936. After the outbreak of the Second World War and ...
