Wikipedia
The Rhineland (, ) is the name used for a loosely defined area of Western Germany along the Rhine River, chiefly its middle section.
Rhineland is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1892, and eliminated in 1914, when it merged into the new riding of Morden and Rhineland. It was re-established in 1949, and eliminated again in 1989. As its name implies, Rhineland was home to several German settlers, many of whom were Mennonites. It is named after the Rhineland region of Germany.

Rhineland's territory was integrated into the riding of Emerson in 1989.
