Norddeutschland

Norddeutschland, or Northern Germany, is the northern region of Germany, characterized by its flat landscapes, extensive coastline along the North Sea and Baltic Sea, and a maritime culture. It includes states such as Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony, Bremen, and Hamburg. Known for its strong traditions in shipping, fishing, and trade, the area features major ports like Hamburg, one of Europe's busiest. The region has a mix of urban centers, rural farmland, and natural reserves, with a distinct cultural identity influenced by its maritime history and historical ties to Scandinavia and the North Sea islands.
