Do you mean that the airport is outside of Germany? Or what else is "federal state border"? And what is a S-Bahn ring anyways?
I visit Germany often and yet this makes no sense to me. Don't assume it's so simple for everyone.
- watwut 3y agoGermany is federation of 16 or so states
- mahathu 3y agoThe airport is located in Schönefeld, a municipality in Brandenburg, just outside of Berlin, which is also a state. S-Bahn ring, usually called ring for short, refers to a prominent circular route around the city center of Berlin.
- tcptomato 3y agoBerlin is one of the 16 federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany.
- bakuninsbart 3y agoFederal in the American sense is a bit of a false friend for Germans: It means basically the same, but Americans use it to signify the unity of the states, while Germans talk about the states of the Union. So if we say federal borders we actually mean state borders and would otherwise say national or country borders.
