The answer is Bild 4: the coat of arms of Thüringen shows a lion striped red and white on a blue shield, surrounded by eight white stars. Careful: the Hessian arms look similar but have no stars.
Wartburgkreis is a Landkreis (district) in Thuringia, around Eisenach and the famous Wartburg castle. Ammerland is in Lower Saxony, Altötting in Bavaria and Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein.
The Landtag (the state parliament) of Thuringia is elected every 5 years. Almost all German states have a 5-year term; only Bremen still has 4 years.
In Thuringia you may vote in Kommunalwahlen (local elections for municipality, town and district) from the age of 16. For Bundestag (federal parliament) elections you must be 18.
The state flag of Thuringia is white-red: white on top, red below. Blue-white-red is the flag of Schleswig-Holstein, green-white-red that of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Landeszentrale für politische Bildung (state agency for civic education) in Thuringia 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 Thuringia is Erfurt, which is also its largest city. Jena, Gera and Eisenach are other towns in Thuringia.
Thuringia lies in the centre of Germany and is often called the "green heart of Germany". It borders Hesse, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Bavaria.
The head of government of Thuringia is called Ministerpräsident / Ministerpräsidentin (minister-president). A Bürgermeister (mayor) leads a town or municipality (and the city-states). Thuringia is a Freistaat ("free state"), but the title is the same.
Foreign policy is the job of the federal government (Bund), so Thuringia has no foreign minister (Außenminister). Every state does have ministers of justice, finance and the interior.
