The Kurpfalz region in modern Germany is where the Kurpfalz dialect is spoken. In a narrower sense, it is where the former Electoral Palatinate (the original Kurpfalz) was: the areas around Mannheim and Heidelberg.

The modern Kurpfalz does not have defined borders, which is the same for Schwaben, but the Kurpfalz and the Palatinate are separated by the Rhine.
