331. Which coat of arms belongs to the federal state (Land) of Brandenburg?

Answer options

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Explanation

The red eagle on a silver field with golden clover-stems on the wings has been the armorial charge of the Margraviate of Brandenburg since the 13th century, introduced by the Ascanians and continued under the Hohenzollerns. Brandenburg's 1992 Land constitution and its statute on state emblems regulate the colors (red-white), the coat of arms, and its official use; as a state emblem, the Landeswappen is generally reserved to public authorities. The choice of this device asserts historical continuity with the Mark/Province of Brandenburg and symbolizes the Land's separate statehood within the federal order of the Basic Law.
