���� Lower Saxony
is a German state situated in northwestern
Germany and is second in area, with 47,624 square kilometres
(18,388 sq mi), and fourth in population (8 million) among the sixteen states of Germany. In
rural areas Northern Low Saxon, a dialect of Low German
is still spoken. ���� Most of the state's
territory was part of the historic Kingdom of Hanover; the state of Lower Saxony
has adopted the coat of arms and other symbols of the former kingdom. �It was created by the merger of the State
of Hanover with several smaller states in 1946. ���� Lower Saxony borders on (from north and
clockwise) the North Sea, the states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg,
Saxony-Anhalt,
Thuringia,
Hesse
and North Rhine-Westphalia.� Lower Saxony also has a border with the Dutch provinces of Overijssel, Drenthe
and Groningen as well as part of the German North Sea
coast.�� In fact, Lower Saxony borders
more neighbors than any other single federal state. The state of Bremen
forms two enclaves
within Lower Saxony, one being the city of Bremen, the other, its seaport city of
Bremerhaven.
The state's principal cities include Hanover, Brunswick, L�neburg, Osnabr�ck, Oldenburg,
and G�ttingen. |
