The Berlin Republic has sixteen states. The actual German plural is (Bundes)Länder, but that's not very Wiki friendly. Many of the current German states are very different from the states that existed in Imperial Germany and the Weimar Republic, when Prussia made up most of Germany. After World War Two, the Allies first broke up Prussia into smaller units, then merged small states to larger continuous units within their four zones of occupation. (If you go back to before 19th century German unification, you'll need a bigger scorecard: there were hundreds of tiny principalities and grand duchies, all of which were for practical purposes completely independent autocracies.)

  • The Berlin Republic has sixteen states. The actual German plural is (Bundes)Länder, but that's not very Wiki friendly. Many of the current German states are very different from the states that existed in Imperial Germany and the Weimar Republic, when Prussia made up most of Germany. After World War Two, the Allies first broke up Prussia into smaller units, then merged small states to larger continuous units within their four zones of occupation. (If you go back to before 19th century German unification, you'll need a bigger scorecard: there were hundreds of tiny principalities and grand duchies, all of which were for practical purposes completely independent autocracies.) Then the Allies split up, and West Germany and East Germany were formed. The differences between then and now are that Baden-Württemberg was formed out of three smaller states in South West Germany, the Saarland rejoined Germany, and the East German states were broken into districts and only restored with German reunification in 1990. Still, regional and local identities based on historic territories, some of them going back to the Holy Roman Empire, abound. This entry also covers the other major cities of Germany that aren't Berlin or Bonn. In German language order -
