The capital of the state of Sachsen is …
In the exam (German)
Die Landeshauptstadt von Sachsen heißt …
- aLeipzig.Leipzig.
- bDresden.Dresden.Correct answer
- cChemnitz.Chemnitz.
- dZwickau.Zwickau.
Why?
The state capital of Sachsen is Dresden on the river Elbe; the state parliament (Landtag) and the state government (Staatsregierung) are based there. The trap is Leipzig: today it is the largest city in Sachsen, but not the capital. Chemnitz and Zwickau are not capitals either.
