which of these is not a federal state of germany?

February 24, 2026

The option that is not a federal state of Germany is the fictional/historical-sounding one, such as “Anglo-Saxony”; the 16 federal states are fixed and well defined.

The 16 federal states

Germany has exactly 16 federal states (Bundesländer).

These are the only valid current federal states:

Baden-Württemberg

Bayern (Bavaria)

Berlin

Brandenburg

Bremen

Hamburg

Hessen

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony)

Nordrhein-Westfalen (North Rhine-Westphalia)

Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate)

Saarland

Sachsen (Saxony)

Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt)

Schleswig-Holstein

Thüringen (Thuringia)

Any answer choice not in this list (for example, “Anglo-Saxony” or “Prussia”) is not a federal state of Germany today.

If you share the exact options from your question, a precise “this one is not a state” line can be given for that list.
