Why?
Elsass-Lothringen (Alsace-Lorraine) belonged to the German Empire (Deutsches Reich) from 1871 to 1918; today the area is in France. It was never a federal state of the Federal Republic. Nordrhein-Westfalen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Sachsen-Anhalt, on the other hand, are three of the 16 federal states.
