# Schleswig-Holstein

Schleswig-Holstein lies between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, has its capital in Kiel, and covers around 15,800 km² with about 2.91 million inhabitants (2022 census).

## Overview

Schleswig-Holstein lies in northern Germany between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and borders Denmark. The state capital is Kiel. The state covers around 15,800 km² and has about 2.91 million inhabitants (2022 census). Its ISO-3166-2 code is DE-SH. Schleswig-Holstein was founded in 1946 as a state in the British occupation zone.

## Administrative divisions

Schleswig-Holstein has never had government regions. Below the state level there are 11 districts (in SH the rural districts are called "Kreise") and 4 urban districts (Flensburg, Kiel, Lübeck, Neumünster).
