Bundesländer

Bundesländer are the federal states of Germany. Germany is divided into 16 of these states, each with its own government, constitution, and regulations. They play a significant role in German politics, education, and culture. Examples include Bavaria, known for its traditions, and Berlin, the capital city. Each Bundesland has the authority to manage its own affairs in certain areas, such as law enforcement and schooling, while the federal government oversees national issues. This system allows for regional diversity and hands-on governance suited to local needs within the framework of a unified German state.
