Show the answer
Correct answer: Bund, Länder und Kommunen. the federation, the states and the local authorities.
Why?
Germany has three levels: the federation (Bund), the states (Länder) and the local authorities (Kommunen), meaning municipalities, towns and districts. The four occupation zones existed from 1945 to 1949, and there were two German states from 1949 to 1990. Cantons are the states of Switzerland.
Key term: Kommunen = local authorities
