'''Laag''' ({{langx|de|Laag}}; {{langx|it|Laghetti}}; local Tyrolean dialect: ''Låg'') is a ''[frazione](/source/frazione)'' of the ''[comune](/source/comune)'' of [Neumarkt](/source/Neumarkt%2C_South_Tyrol) in [South Tyrol](/source/South_Tyrol) in the [Italian](/source/Italy) region of [Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol](/source/Trentino-Alto_Adige%2FS%C3%BCdtirol), located about 30&nbsp;km northeast of the city of [Trento](/source/Trento) and about 25&nbsp;km south of the city of [Bolzano](/source/Bolzano). Laag is situated on the plain (213 m) on the left side of the [Adige](/source/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](/source/Holy_Roman_Empire) town in the district of [Bavaria](/source/Bavaria)-[Tyrol](/source/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](/source/Weisth%C3%BCmer)'' of [Salurn](/source/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?
