You're correct on merkelberg, she comes from where. Anhaltspunkt would be more like it translated to clue. The real reason for 'Anhalt' is that it is the name of a noble family who were heading this part back in time. And congrats, you did pretty well, about half right. Bremen and Hamburg is everyone switching up all the time.

I never thought about all German "states" in general before, "all 3 Saxons are in diagonal line" seems easy to remember. The most embarassing geography ignorance I had, was for the longest time I believed Switzerland was 100% surrounded by high Alps mountains. Why not? Last edited by mutantsushi - on 07 February 2020
