Schleswig-Holstein

The northernmost state of the Federal Republic of Germany, bordering Denmark and occupying the lower part of the Jutland penninsula.

Carlton Bach hails from Schleswig-Holstein, which he calls 'Occupied Denmark'.

Has a bewildering variety of names in different Germanic languages - which one is used, of course, can be somewhat political as it implies that country's ownership of the region. In summary:

German - Schleswig-Holstein

Danish - Slesvig-Holsten

The local Low German dialect - Sleeswiek-Holstain or Slewswig-Holsteen

Traditional English - Sleswick-Holsatia

Frisian - Slaswik-Holstiinj
