==== Was man wissen sollte

<<understanding-themes>>

==== What is a region?

Besides its primary content, a web page contains other content such as site
branding (site name, slogan, and logo), navigation aids (menus, links, and
icons), formatted text, and images. Each theme provides a set of named regions,
such as _Header_, _Content_, and _Sidebar_, where site builders may choose to
place their content.

The available regions depend on the theme design. Only the Content region,
which contains the primary content, is required; others are optional.  The
core Bartik theme provides the eighteen regions highlighted in the following
image.
