GermanLaender

While I was in Germany I decided it was about time I got my head around the German Bundeslaender; where they are and which cities are in each. I had previously had not had much of a clue except knowing where Nordrhein-Westfalen and Berlin were (I exaggerate slightly).

So I'm writing my list down from memory to show myself that I have learnt them.

I could have just copied this stuff from Wikipedia's excellent summary.
