State History
In 1952, the States of Württemberg-Baden, Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern merged to form a single cohesive State in Germany's southwest. A historical stroke of fortune - as former German President Theodor Heuss emphasized. But the eventful history of the individual states in the Southwest stretches back much further.
The State and Its People
An area of 35,751 square kilometres supports a population of around 10.8 million people. Located in Germany's Southwest corner and neighbour to three other German States, Baden-Württemberg lies at the very heart of Europe and shares borders with three European countries. Baden-Württemberg is characterized by the diversity of its landscapes.

State Coat of Arms
The three lions embody Schwaben, the stag is the symbol of Württemberg, and the griffon stands for Baden. The six badges lining the crown at the top of the shield represent the six most important historical territories of the Southwest State. The constitution of the State of Baden-Württemberg only stipulates the State colours as black and gold.
