What the Germany map covers
This map cuts Germany into 16 states, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Bayern (about 69,800 km², 20% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Bremen at about 342 km². That is a 204-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 47°N to 55°N and spans roughly 9° of longitude. Some states are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 21 outlines for 16 states.

Tips for coloring the Germany map
- With 16 states you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- Exporting for print? Raise the PNG width to 3,000 pixels or more before downloading, or take the SVG, which stays sharp at any size.
- Your work is saved in this browser as you go, so a reload will not lose the states you have already colored.
