Explanation
Alsace-Lorraine (Elsass-Lothringen) is a historical region in France, not a federal state of Germany. The other options are all official German states (Länder) within the Federal Republic of Germany.
Tips
- Learn the full list of Germany's 16 states and their typical abbreviations. Watch for distractors that are regions from neighboring countries (France, ustria, Switzerland) or historical/geographical regions rather than current federal states. Use elimination: if you recognize multiple names as definite states, the remaining unfamiliar or foreign-sounding region is likely incorrect.
