Answer options

1. 1. Husum
2. 2. Flensburg
3. 3. Lübeck
4. 4. Kiel

Explanation

Within the Basic Law’s federal framework, each Land determines its capital as a matter of state competence, typically anchored in state constitutional law. In Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel is the capital and the seat of both the Landtag and the state government. This reflects Kiel’s status as the Land’s largest city, a major Baltic port, and a historic naval base; the 1918 Kiel sailors’ mutiny ignited the November Revolution. Lübeck and Flensburg are historically significant but are not the state capital.
