»Grüß Gott!«
Welcome to the state affectionately known as THE LÄND!
“Made in THE LÄND – Loved in the world” is the official slogan for Baden-Württemberg at this year’s German Unity Day celebrations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
THE LÄND is the home of inventors and creative minds. From the brassiere to the perm, from the Leitz office file to soap bubbles, there are so many inventions from THE LÄND that we are incredibly proud of. The deeply inventive spirit of the people of Baden-Württemberg makes us the leading innovation region in Europe.
And, if you think our main strength is our legendary work ethic, then you’re only half right: in THE LÄND, pleasure and quality of life play an incredibly important role. From Lake Constance to the Swabian Alps and the Black Forest, there are breath-taking horizons and views of lakes, forests, fields, mountains and vineyards – here, in THE LÄND, there’s the perfect spot for you, whatever your tastes.
THE LÄND has so much to offer – we warmly invite guests at German Unity Day to come and visit THE LÄND:

THE MINISTER-PRESIDENT OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG
Winfried Kretschmann
My name is Winfried Kretschmann and it is my great pleasure and honour to be the Minister President of the loveliest, sunniest, most innovative and quite simply the best state in Germany: THE LÄND!
The creative people who live here, the incredible countryside and the time-honoured traditions make THE LÄND truly unique. I cannot imagine a better place to live and work. While we’re incredibly proud of our traditional culture, we’re also busy working on the future with pioneering inventions developed in THE LÄND. In a nutshell: here, you can find everything you could wish for – and more.
