Background
Every federal state has its own coat of arms. The coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein shows two blue lions for Schleswig and a white nettle leaf on red for Holstein. You can see it, for example, on public buildings, on state documents and on the state flag. Schleswig-Holstein is the northernmost federal state. It lies between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and borders Denmark. Around 3.0 million people live in Schleswig-Holstein.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other images show other coats of arms that do not belong to Schleswig-Holstein. For the test it is worth looking closely at your own state’s coat of arms – this question appears for every state.
