322. Which is a borough (Bezirk) of Berlin?

Answer options

1. Altona
2. Prignitz
3. Pankow
4. Mecklenburg Lake District

Explanation

In Germany’s federal order under the Basic Law, Länder and municipalities are distinct; Berlin, as a city-state, is both a Land and a municipality (Art. 28 Basic Law; Art. 1 Berlin Constitution). Its boroughs—among them Pankow since the 2001 administrative reform merging Pankow, Prenzlauer Berg, and Weißensee—are not municipalities but sub-state administrative units with limited self-government (district assembly and district office) under Land law. Altona belongs to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg; Prignitz is a rural district in Brandenburg; Mecklenburgische Seenplatte is a rural district in Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania.
