Quick explanation
The coat of arms of Saarland is image 4.
Why is this correct?
It shows four fields with lions, a cross and eagles recalling the historic territories of the region.
Background
Every federal state has its own coat of arms. The coat of arms of Saarland shows four fields with lions, a cross and eagles recalling the historic territories of the region. You can see it, for example, on public buildings, on state documents and on the state flag. Saarland is the smallest territorial state. It lies in the south-west on the border with France and Luxembourg and has only belonged to the Federal Republic since 1957. Around 1.0 million people live in Saarland.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other images show other coats of arms that do not belong to Saarland. For the test it is worth looking closely at your own state’s coat of arms – this question appears for every state.
Memory tip
