358. Which Land (federal state) is Hamburg?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Hamburg is one of the Federal Republic’s 16 Länder and, as the "Free and Hanseatic City," is a city-state, meaning the Land and the municipality are institutionally unified. Its status as a Land derives from the Basic Law (Arts. 20, 28, 30 GG); it has its own state constitution, the Bürgerschaft as state parliament, and the Senate as state government. The title reflects imperial immediacy and Hanseatic traditions that underpin robust local self-government. Like the other Länder, Hamburg participates on an equal footing in federal legislation, notably through the Bundesrat.
