The short answer

Image 1 shows the requested state coat of arms.

Baden-Württemberg’s coat of arms contains three black lions on a gold background. It is labelled 1 in the existing catalogue graphic. The number belongs to this illustration, not to the coat of arms itself.

Which coat of arms belongs to the federal state of Baden-Württemberg?
Four numbered coats of arms: 1 with three black lions on gold, 2 with a striped lion and stars on blue, 3 with several fields and a bear on a wall, 4 with white towers on red.

Choose one answer. Your result stays on this page only.

Recognising a feature is more reliable than learning only a number.

Start in the centre of the shield: three black lions appear one above another on gold. This combination also helps when you later see the coat of arms without the four answer pictures. A crown alone is not enough to identify it.

The state uses greater and lesser versions of its coat of arms. Both contain the lion shield but differ in their additional elements. You therefore do not need to memorise every detail of the more elaborate greater version for this question.

The other three answers

The other pictures show different combinations of animals, colours and buildings.

2

Image 2 contains a single striped lion and stars on a blue background. That does not match the requested shield with three black lions.

3

Image 3 is divided into differently designed sections, with a bear on a wall below. This combination is not Baden-Württemberg’s lion shield.

4

Image 4 shows a white gateway and towers on red. It lacks the three black lions on gold.

Coat of arms, state colours and image number are different things.

Black and gold are also the state colours. A black and gold surface does not thereby become the complete coat of arms: the defined design with the lions matters.

The original graphic remains unchanged in the knowledge check. The additional AI pictures are symbolic study illustrations, not redrawings of the official coat of arms. This explanation is not permission to use a state coat of arms as an official or business symbol of your own.
