Background
Every federal state has its own coat of arms. The coat of arms of Hamburg shows a white castle with three towers on a red background. You can see it, for example, on public buildings, on state documents and on the state flag. Hamburg is a city state in northern Germany on the Elbe, between Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony. Its port is one of the largest in Europe. Around 1.9 million people live in Hamburg.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other images show other coats of arms that do not belong to Hamburg. For the test it is worth looking closely at your own state’s coat of arms – this question appears for every state.
