The answer is Bild 4: the coat of arms of Sachsen shows black and gold stripes with a green crown of rue running diagonally across.
Vogtlandkreis is a Landkreis (district) in Saxony, in the south-west of the state near Bavaria and the Czech Republic. Altötting is in Bavaria, Uckermark in Brandenburg and Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein.
The Landtag (the state parliament) of Saxony is elected every 5 years. Almost all German states have a 5-year term; only Bremen still has 4 years.
In Saxony you may vote in Kommunalwahlen (local elections for municipality, town and district) only from the age of 18. Many other states allow it from 16, but Saxony does not.
The state flag of Saxony is white-green: a white stripe on top and a green one below. Black and yellow appear in the Saxon coat of arms, but not on the flag.
The Landeszentrale für politische Bildung (state agency for civic education) in Saxony provides neutral, mostly free information about politics, e.g. brochures and events. The Ordnungsamt (public order office), consumer advice centre and churches have other tasks.
The state capital of Saxony is Dresden on the Elbe. Leipzig is the largest city in Saxony, but not the capital.
Saxony lies in eastern Germany and borders Poland and the Czech Republic. To the west are Thuringia and Bavaria, to the north Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg.
The head of government of Saxony is called Ministerpräsident / Ministerpräsidentin (minister-president). A Bürgermeister (mayor) leads a town or municipality (and the city-states). Saxony is a Freistaat ("free state"), but the title is the same.
Foreign policy is the job of the federal government (Bund), so Saxony has no foreign minister (Außenminister). Every state does have ministers of justice, finance and the interior.
