Anyone knowledgeable about #German #history want to comment on the reasonableness of describing a location as 'Mimbach Webenheim, Bavaria, Germany'? This would have been in 1719, at which point, obviously, calling it 'Bavaria, Germany' is wrong, but ignoring that, Mimbach and Webenheim appear to be in Saarland, which I don't think was every part of the Electorate of #Bavaria. Is this just nonsense, or am I missing something?

Edit: it has been made clear that as long as you ignore the linear progression of time, this is a location description that does make sense, so I'm assuming I'm just dealing with a source who wasn't specifically familiar with the history of the area.
