We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Hesse — The entry states 'The synthetic element hassium, number 108 on the periodic table, was named after the state in 1997.' This is misleading because hassium was named after the Latin name for Hesse (Hassia), and 1997 is the year of IUPAC approval, not the year th
Lower Saxony — The entry states Lower Saxony is the second-largest German state by area, but it is actually the fourth-largest.
Lower Saxony — The entry says 'Lower Saxony is the only Bundesland with both maritime and mountainous terrain' which is factually incorrect; other states like Schleswig-Holstein or Mecklenburg-Vorpommern also have both coast and terrain that could be considered mountainous,
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern — The claim that the name derives from the West Slavic phrase 'po more' meaning 'Land at the Sea' is incorrect; the name 'Mecklenburg' comes from the castle 'Mikilenburg' (meaning 'large castle' in Old Saxon), and 'Vorpommern' derives from the Slavic 'po more' m
Bavaria — Bavaria does not share a southern border with Switzerland; its southern border is entirely with Austria.
Bavaria — The modern state of Bavaria was formally constituted with its current constitution on December 1, 1946, not in 1945.
Berlin — The claim that Berlin has the highest population within its city limits of any city in the European Union is factually incorrect; London (Greater London) has a higher population.
Berlin — The claim that Babelsberg Studio is the world's first large-scale movie studio complex is inaccurate; earlier large-scale studios such as Edison Studios or Gaumont studios existed before Babelsberg's founding in 1912.
Bremen — Bremen is not formally designated as the capital of the state of Bremen; the state consists of the two cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven, and Bremen is only the seat of government.
Bremen — Bremen is the 11th-largest city in Germany by population, not by area.
Hamburg — The entry states that Hamburg's population exceeds 1.9 million, but the official population as of recent census data is approximately 1.85 million, not over 1.9 million.
Hamburg — The entry says the Elbe estuary is 110 kilometers long starting where the Alster and Bille rivers converge. In reality, the Elbe estuary begins at the confluence of the Elbe and the North Sea near Cuxhaven, not at the Alster and Bille confluence, and its lengt
North Rhine-Westphalia — The entry states that North Rhine-Westphalia is 'landlocked', but it is not landlocked because it borders the Netherlands, a coastal country, and has access to the North Sea via the Rhine; the term 'landlocked' is factually incorrect.
North Rhine-Westphalia — The area of North Rhine-Westphalia is given as 34,084 km², but the official figure is 34,112 km², so this is a factual error.
