State Facts of Rhineland-Pfalz Population: 4 million Area: 19,849 sq km Capital: Mainz DID You Know? The state of Rhineland-Pfalz alatinate was formed after the end of World War II, on 30 August 1946, by the French military government. Traditional structures were not taken into account; instead parts of Germany were merged that had never before belonged together: parts of the Prussian Rhine provinces, the territory of Hessen on the left bank of the Rhine, and the strongly Bavarian-influenced Palatinate. These regions have become closely knit over time, however, and Rhineland-Pfalz (also called Palatinate) has acquired its own identity. The major cities are Mainz, Kaiserslautern, Trier, Ludwigshafen and Koblenz, the major waterways Rhine and Mosel, as well as the states proximity to three economically powerful centers - the Rhine-Main, Rhine-Neckar and Rhine-Ruhr regions - have created optimal framework conditions for the state into one of Germanys most dynamic regions.
