GermanyNordrhein-Westfalen, Aufgabe 7 · Nordrhein-Westfalen · Your federal state
The capital of the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen is …
In the exam (German)
Die Landeshauptstadt von Nordrhein-Westfalen heißt …
- aKöln.Köln.
- bBonn.Bonn.
- cDüsseldorf.Düsseldorf.Correct answer
- dDortmund.Dortmund.
Why?
The state capital of Nordrhein-Westfalen is Düsseldorf; the state parliament (Landtag) and the state government are based there. Two traps: Köln (Cologne) is the largest city in the state, and Bonn used to be the capital of the Federal Republic – but neither of them is the state capital. Dortmund is also a big city, but not the capital.
