Background
Every federal state has its own coat of arms. The coat of arms of Saxony-Anhalt shows black and gold stripes with a green crown of rue at the top and a black bear on a red wall below – the Anhalt bear. You can see it, for example, on public buildings, on state documents and on the state flag. Saxony-Anhalt lies in the middle of eastern Germany on the Elbe. Wittenberg, where Martin Luther started the Reformation in 1517, is located here. Around 2.1 million people live in Saxony-Anhalt.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other images show other coats of arms that do not belong to Saxony-Anhalt. For the test it is worth looking closely at your own state’s coat of arms – this question appears for every state.
