The story is told that the heathen Saxon Hessi, having been defeated by Karl the Great in 775, went to live in the monastery of Fulda, and left his daughter Gisela in possession of his property, which she devoted to founding two little monasteries (monasteriola) for her daughters.

In the third century the Saxons pushed their way into the province from the Cimbrian peninsula; other tribes joined them, either voluntarily or under compulsion, and thus there arose a large confederation of tribes which bore the name of Saxons.
The western part of the province between the Weser and the Lower Rhine appears from about the year 800 in the historical sources under the name of Westphalia, while the district on both banks of the Weser was called Engern, and the district between the Weser and the Elbe bore the name of Eastphalia.
No one has yet been able to give a satisfactory explanation of the names Westphalia and Eastphalia.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Europe
In the reign of Charlemagne the large territories of the Saxons and Avars were added to the lands thus organized, and these new regions also received missionaries and bishops.
The result was the founding of the Dioceses of Bremen (787), Paderborn (806), Werden, and Minden in the country of the Engern, Osnabrück and Münster (785) in Westphalia, Halberstadt and Hildesheim (817) in Eastphalia; the metropolitan of all the Saxon sees was Bremen (834).
From these points, Christianity, as formerly in the Roman Empire, extended beyond the boundaries of Charlemagne's dominions, and new tribes and peoples were evangelized, while, at the same time, Christian civilization was peacefully established within the Frankish Empire.

It is further assumed that the original homeland of the Saxons roughly corresponds to today's Holstein in Northern Germany and that the Saxons gradually fanned out southward from there.
The Saxon region eventually came to consist of four tribal domains, or provinces: Northalbingia (north of the Elbe estuary), Angria (south of Northalbingia), Westphalia (west of Angria), and Eastphalia (east of Angria).
Their neighbors were Frisians along the North Sea coast, Franks in the south and west, and Slavs in the east.

The musical had fortunately named the building Eastphalia after the optimistic world of Voltaire's Candide, Westphalia.
The top poet in the building at the time wanted to take the building in a new direction (East, he argued) while the gay 47-year-old dance choreographer giggled at the sight of the world "-phalia." Thus was born the complex house of crazies known now as Eastphalia.
These are not their stories, but bits of paper I found in the their trash.

In its prime in the 6th century the Thuringian kingdom stretched from the Weser river in the west to the Elbe in the east and to the Danube in the south, uniting also the Germanic populations in Mecklenburg, Brandenburg and northern Bohemia.
This kingdom was destroyed by the allied Franks and Saxons at the battle of Scheidungen (531), and at that time what is now southern Lower Saxony and a large part of Saxe-Anhalt (Eastphalia) passed to the Saxons.
The southern areas of Thuringian settlement between the Main and Danube rivers came under Frankish control and were converted to Christianity.
