The short answer

In this catalogue image, 2 is correct.

The arrow numbered 2 points to Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. What matters is the area at the arrow’s tip, not the number’s position outside the map.

Follow the arrow into the marked area.

The image shows Germany with state boundaries and four numbered arrows. Several areas are grey. Looking only at the colour is therefore insufficient: check which state each arrow points to.

Baden-Württemberg lies in the southwest. France is on its western side and Switzerland to the south; within Germany, its neighbours include Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Bavaria. These geographical relationships are more useful than memorising an isolated image number.

The other three answers

The other arrows end in different areas of the Germany map.

1

Arrow 1 points to a western area farther north. It does not end in the southwestern area of Baden-Württemberg.

3

Number 3 appears at the upper right, but its arrow’s tip farther inside the map is what matters. It also does not point to Baden-Württemberg.

4

Arrow 4 points to the large southeastern area. Baden-Württemberg lies to its west; in this image, arrow 2 leads to the correct area.

Image numbers and geographical location are not the same thing.

Another map may assign numbers differently or omit them entirely. Learn the southwestern location as well, and do not automatically transfer the number 2 to another question image.

The small overview map helps identify a federal state. It is neither a precise property-boundary map nor a road map. The editorial AI images do not replace the original graphic.
