Germany is a nation of great diversity. The 16 federal states have much to offer to guests and visitors. There are similarities but also cultural differences between them.
The Federal States
Germany is a country of great diversity. It is divided into 16 federal states (Länder), each responsible for the government of its own state, some of which look back over a long tradition. Germany has always been divided into states but over the course of the centuries the map has often changed its appearance. The states which exist today were established after 1945 but have in part retained their old ethnic traditions and characteristics as well as their historical boundaries.
