'''Laag''' ({{langx|de|Laag}}; {{langx|it|Laghetti}}; local Tyrolean dialect: ''Låg'') is a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Neumarkt in South Tyrol in the Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 30 km northeast of the city of Trento and about 25 km south of the city of Bolzano. Laag is situated on the plain (213 m) on the left side of the Adige river.
==Etymology== The earliest written mention of the name ''Laag'' ({{langx|de|Laag}}; {{langx|it|Laghetti}}; local Tyrolean dialect: ''Låg'') was the 1237 document describing the Holy Roman Empire town in the district of Bavaria-Tyrol in the form ''ze Lage''. In 1525 the Tyroler Landesatlas describes it as ''Lag''. The etymological base is to be considered the Germanic ''låg'', in turn derived from the proto-Germanic *lōgą ("site, foundation, field") and proto-Indo -European *legʰ- (to be located, to lie), similar to the Gaelic ''loch'', through the Latin ''lacus'' (lake).<ref>Kühebacher, E. (1995). 'Die Ortsnamen Südtirols und ihre Geschichte', vol. 1, Bozen: Athesia 1995</ref>
== History == Laag is prominently mentioned in the ''Weistum'' of Salurn as of 1413, whereas ''die Lager'', the Laag's village people, had to carry out wine transport services to the Habsburgian duke.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Obermair |first=Hannes |year= 2001 |title=Soziale Produktion von Recht?
