Bremen as "Freie Hansestadt Bremen" is also a state and would also be correct for Brandenburg

Heidelberg is a beautiful city. I don't know why my ancestors left it for Pennsylvania in the early 1700s.

Tougher than I thought. A good few cities I remembered when I saw the answers but blanked when I was doing the quiz.....which is always useful. Lol

Personally, I believe these quizzes would be better with the yellow box. I can get most by just guessing German Cities.

In which case, why are Arminia soccer team not leading Bundesliga 2 - they must win all home matches, as opponents can't find the ground?

Strange - it has over 300,000 inhabitants or are they imaginary?

Yes, no one actually lives in "Bielefeld", they just want you to think that 300 000 some people live there, and if you ever meet one of these so called "inhabitants", they're either with them and are trying to trick you, or have been manipulated into believing they are from this "Bielefeld" place. :P

I cannot understand why Bielefeld is not a city. During the time I lived in Detmold, BAOR with HM Forces I often visited this lively city. Wikipedia: Bielefeld is a city in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe Region in the north-east of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. With a population of 336,352, it is also the most populous city in the Regierungsbezirk Detmold.

It's an "inside" joke (if you can call it that when at least 80 million people know about it). Don't take it so seriously. ;)

ask any german: no one's ever been to bielefeld or met someone from there. so it can't actually exist, right?

I only missed Kiel. Is this the part where I brag about what an impossible feat this was to achieve because I'm not German? Or is the USA the only country on Earth considered to be a black hole from whence no knowledge can escape?

Stoopid American who doesn't know the world famous city of Kiel... get back to Los Santos, New Jersey City, George Washington, D.C. or wherever you're from.

I'm a German teacher in the USA, I have trouble remembering how to spell Nürnberg for English speakers. I also have to take a few moments to remember that Köln is Cologne. However I've been retired for 7 years and I have far too much trouble remembering the Map of Germany. Curses on growing old.

I typed Pottsdam and then tried hard to think of another German city that starts with P instead of thinking about my spelling.

I always thought it's "Postdam", so the same happened to me.

I did the same. Tried Pottsdam several times. never thought to change the spelling, especially as jetpunk is usually so lax on spelling.

Hadnt heard of the bottom 6, amazed if some not from Germany (or having lived there, or being a geography teacher/ germanologist etc) got all of them on their first try. Actually, that the more obscure ones got reasonable scores anyway
