Quick explanation
Saxony is number 4 on the map.
Why is this correct?
Saxony lies in eastern Germany and borders Poland and the Czech Republic. It is one of the five states that joined the Federal Republic in 1990.
Background
Saxony lies in eastern Germany and borders Poland and the Czech Republic. It is one of the five states that joined the Federal Republic in 1990. Germany has 16 federal states: 13 territorial states and the three city states of Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. It helps to memorise the location of your own state and its neighbours on a map.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other numbers show other federal states. Pay attention to the location: north or south, east or west, and which countries or seas Saxony borders.
Memory tip
Remember the location: Saxony lies in eastern Germany and borders Poland and the Czech Republic.
