For how many years is the state parliament (Landtag) in Hessen elected?

In the exam (German)

Für wie viele Jahre wird der Landtag in Hessen gewählt?

  1. a33
  2. b44
  3. c55Correct answer
  4. d66

Why?

The Landtag in Hessen is elected for five years; this is laid down in the state constitution. The Federal Parliament (Bundestag), by contrast, is elected every four years. Remember: almost all state parliaments are elected for five years – only Bremen still votes every four years.
