'''Rhineland-Palatinate''' ([[German]]: ''Rheinland-Pfalz'') is one of the sixteen federal states (German: ''Bundesland'') of Germany. To the west, it shares borders with [[France]], the ''Bundesland'' [[Saarland]], [[Luxembourg]] and [[Belgium]], to the north with the ''Bundeslaender'' [[North Rhine - Westfalia]] and to the east with [[Hesse]].
The state was formed in 1947 out of parts from the former states of [[Prussia]], [[Bavaria]], [[Hesse-Darmstadt]] and even [[Oldenburg]] - a sign of the eventful history of this area.
Though the cities in Rhineland-Palatinate are not very big - the capital [[Mainz]] has 180,000 inhabitants, [[Ludwigshafen]] 160,000, [[Koblenz]],[[Trier]] and [[Kaiserslautern]] each 100,000, [[Worms]] less than 90,000 - they often have an impressive history, rooted in the days of the [[Roman Empire]].
