The capital of the state of Hessen is …
In the exam (German)
Die Landeshauptstadt von Hessen heißt …
- aKassel.Kassel.
- bDarmstadt.Darmstadt.
- cFrankfurt.Frankfurt.
- dWiesbaden.Wiesbaden.Correct answer
Why?
The state capital of Hessen is Wiesbaden; the state parliament (Landtag) and the state government are based there. The trap is Frankfurt: it is the largest and best-known city in Hessen, but not the capital. Remember: Wiesbaden lies on the Rhine, directly opposite Mainz, the capital of Rheinland-Pfalz.
