Answer options

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

Explanation

Bremen’s state coat of arms is the so‑called Bremer Schlüssel: a silver key on a red shield, usually in bend to the dexter, the attribute of Saint Peter, patron of Bremen Cathedral. The designation “Free Hanseatic City” points to its heritage as a free imperial, Hanseatic city‑republic and to its continuity as a city‑state within the federal order of the Basic Law. The Land’s emblems (small and great arms and flags) are defined in the 1947 Constitution of Bremen and in state law (rules on coats of arms and other official emblems); their official use is reserved to authorities and legally protected. This makes the Länder’s statehood visible in symbol and law, while at the federal level the Bundesadler serves as the state emblem.
