German term or phrase: Unterfranken

I'm doing a marketing piece for a new employee for Rexroth and have a few questions:

Word: Unterfranken
Context: Vor 36 Jahren habe ich in Erlenbach am Main das Licht der Welt erblickt. Als geborener Unterfranke fühle ich mich natürlich in Lohr am Main sehr wohl.

Word: Aussenwerken (plants?)
Context: Zurückgreifen kann ich dabei auf umfangreiche praktische Rexroth-Erfahrung, die ich seit 1990 als Maschinenbau-In-genieur in zwei Außenwerken sammeln durfte.

Explanation:
Unterfranken (Lower Franconia) is a region in Germany where this person comes from.

Aussenwerke are outside facilities, thus he gained experience while working as a mechanical engineer in two outside facilities. More context would probably reveal the relationship to Rexroth.

Good luck!
