Hello and many thanks for your kind words.
Well, highlands maybe the correct translation for Oberland. In old newspapers, the railroad was often called a mountain railway. The highest hill nearby is 680meters but the railroad never climbed such hills. Palatinate Highland is an old name of our area which is known today as "south wine street" .
And Reinhard is right. Palatinate may be based on the latin word Palatina.
Cheers Gerd
