Background
Every federal state has its own coat of arms. The coat of arms of Lower Saxony shows a white leaping horse on a red background – the Saxon steed. You can see it, for example, on public buildings, on state documents and on the state flag. Lower Saxony lies in north-western Germany on the North Sea and is the second-largest federal state by area. It surrounds the state of Bremen and borders the Netherlands. Around 8.1 million people live in Lower Saxony.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other images show other coats of arms that do not belong to Lower Saxony. For the test it is worth looking closely at your own state’s coat of arms – this question appears for every state.
