We all love the Germans. They used to start wars every Thursday. Now they make cars and innovative electronic music about motorways.

But before germany became one giant world war making country. It was made up of many different kingdoms/electorates/free states.

Which are your favorites.
Few rules
1 holy roman empire doesn't count
2 neither does Austria propper.
3. No ancient germania either. We are taking late medieval and newer.

The obvious one is prussia!
But I'll say Saxony

Hesse, because of the neat flags and hats they gave us at Trenton.

Not aware of two many of them, so will have to go with Bavaria.

Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

Bavaria and Brunswick. My German heritage comes from Bavaria, and the Black Brunswickers are just so darn cool!

Bayern über alles!

Bavaria for all the good beer and Mad King Ludwig.

The Beast Rampant31 Aug 2016 1:54 p.m. PST

I will go with Bayern. And not just because I love cornflower blue.

Liliburlero Supporting Member of TMP31 Aug 2016 2:01 p.m. PST

Bavaria, good brew & a guy that couldn't stop adding rooms to his castle! What's not to like!

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP31 Aug 2016 3:10 p.m. PST

Hanover. There were other choices??

14Bore31 Aug 2016 3:51 p.m. PST

As a Prussian aficionado I have always liked to see Pomerania though its now part of Poland, Been to Munich and the former American areas.

Major Mike31 Aug 2016 4:17 p.m. PST

Franconia, which is in Bavaria, as it gave rise to the Great Robber Baron Eppelein von Gailingen.

Buckeye AKA Darryl31 Aug 2016 4:21 p.m. PST

Oh yes, I forgot Hanover! KGL, 1866, and all that.

Mecklenburg.

Kevin C31 Aug 2016 5:45 p.m. PST

My grandfather was born in Württemberg and I still have relatives there, so I guess I will have to go with Württemberg.

Pfalz, because I was born there. My family's time in Germany was pretty brief after my birth: my parents brought me home to the U.S. when I was three months old.

Saxony for no particular reason. Just sounds cool and when we used to play Empires in Arms, I always tried to get them as a free state when playing Austria or Prussia.

Martin Rapier31 Aug 2016 11:06 p.m. PST

Bavaria. Everyones favourite minor ally.

nickinsomerset31 Aug 2016 11:46 p.m. PST

Soest, Paderborn, Rhinedahlen, Hohne, all great places to live and work,

Tally Ho!

Bavaria – if you can't have a good time in Bavaria, you must be dead.

If we can stretch things, how about the Tyrol?

GarrisonMiniatures01 Sep 2016 7:17 a.m. PST

Does Bohemia count?
