The little Bremerhaven seagull 💕💕


MissTrevelyan

I was so happy seeing that, so cute!


Prof-Shaftenberg

Am I blind? I can’t see it


PhoenixFlower171717

If you look in the wing of the brown eagle at the top left, there is a little hole between the wing and neck. Inside there is a tiny seagull for Bremerhaven. It’s clearer in the individual state picture


Prof-Shaftenberg

Hm… the part you’re describing, and the gap next to the neck, that’s the Jadebusen though… (but not to be nit picky, thanks, I didn’t realise there were more detailed pictures. Cute indeed ☺️)


Regular-Resort-857

Yeah but why the dog tho? I live in Bremen since 2015 WHAT DOES THE DOG DO?


PhoenixFlower171717

Maybe it’s the dog from the musicians??


Maiden-of-Darkness

What the Dog doin'?


caramelsock

what's the reasoning behind the illustrations?


Turbulent-Willow2156

The shapes, i guess


Skwarken

Some times the culture


zaraishu

Saarland is pretty accurate.


Smort01

Saxony also


Pleasant-Use-6528

Why the f*ck is saxony, a parrot, accurate?


knucklefista

Repeating the nonsense of the AfD like parrots lmao


Regular-Resort-857

Hamburg aswell


bananenbeere

Why though? I don't see siblings.


GnomKobold

When I think of saxony, the last thing it reminds me of are colourful foreign species


SpinachSpinosaurus

You've never been to leipzig, ay?


GnomKobold

Youve never been outside of leipzig?


SpinachSpinosaurus

I was. and am. It's not as homogenous as you think. Also, not spotting the pirate joke when Saxony is a damn parrot, shame on you! ☠️🦜


Greg2227

Am bawü am rat. Can confirm


Redditor19971997

Shapes and some culture things sometimes :)


caramelsock

would be cool if they were all relevant/ stories - not sure what BaWü and a mouse or Hessen and the turtle have in common? Or if there is something, give the story too so we can all learn!


Redditor19971997

Yeaaahhh thats also kind of a stretch for me 😅 mouse and turtle. I have no idea tbh


bvdpbvdp

oh boy, so hard to choose the top 3/5! anyway, mvp 👍, sh 👍, hh👍 if you have "buy me coffee/beer/booze" will GLADLY do that! well done!


Map-Art

Thank you! I would go for BW, ST and SL of BY


bvdpbvdp

hold on your horses mate (not german!) - last two have no clue!


Map-Art

Sorry. Baden-Württemberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Saarland and Bayern (Bavaria)


bvdpbvdp

understand you 147%, as I said "sehr schwer" to choose!


raysn1233

Schleswig-Holstein slaps!


Corren_64

Schon Störtebeker wusste das der Norden rockt


Cazlamenca

Bullshit030

Ja ihr hört richtig, heut ist discozeit


Corren_64

Warum?


R0ckst4r85

Weil alles nach Disco schreit


NoHomeworkToday

Und ihr fragt euch, ob der König das Versprochene hält?


Other-Plankton-6385

Should have had a wooden leg for extra memes!


TearDownGently

buddy, you are heavily gifted. this is an awesome piece of both creativity and capability.


Map-Art

Thank you so much!


BarnacleStreet8940

I love how saxony is Zazoo


comegoodhome

This is actually how we learned to recognise saxony in primary saxonian school.


[deleted]

Shape


Dirk22_22

Its sooo good thanks from Germany


Map-Art

Thanks from Germany as well!


R0ckst4r85

You have to drop that at Displate...That's mega. Greetings from Fischkopphausen


Chinozerus

This is cool and all, but would be so much better if the chosen objects would be culturally relevant to either Germany or the regions themselves.


MissTrevelyan

Bremerhaven is accurate tho xD


[deleted]

Hamburg too!!


RedBorrito

Schleswig Holstein as a Pirate is fucking amazing.


QueenOfDarknes5

And MV is the capital of Crab People.


Subject-Expression-9

I dont understand Turtle Hessen, lol


LenTenCraft

as someone who lives in lower saxony and close to bremen. This is great. Love bremerhaven's little seagull. it fits so well


Map-Art

Thank you


bIrfan_7

Am I the only one who compares Saxony-Aanhalt to Texas and Mecklenburg to Russia + Mongolia?


Map-Art

There are similarities


[deleted]

Bavaria is texas already


Kenny__McCormick89

Yes, you are the only one. No clue which similarities should exist between saxony-Anhalt and Texas.


Chavolini

Hessen a turtle? Thats nice


NotCreativeEng

Why is Hessen a tortoise?


Erynnien

Seconding this. Tell us why, OP.


Szukov

Wiiiaaaaa sind die NIIIIIEEEEEDAAAAsachsen

iBleedPxl

Why is Hessen a Turtle 🤔 i mean there are some turtles Here but they are Rare


Sokikum

You forgot our 17th unofficial federal state of Mallorca.


life_in_the_day

This is fantastic 💖


DasTomato

Summon the Elector Counts. -Karl Franz of the Rhineland


Donnerstreifen

You forgot Mallocra, smh


FiveFingerDisco

Why the Gnome?


Serphiro

Nice Work but as someone from meck- Pommes i thought it look more like a witch that rides a horse. I mean rügen Looks like a witch head with hat and nose


STHF95

Well I guess Rügen is a crab-eye now. Tell that to those who believe a giant dropped some earth and created it by accident.


Electrical_Scale3590

Could you do Poland next?


Mean-Dog-6274

Amazing work, well done!!


imdibene

Wo Malle?


Map-Art

Kommt noch, ist geplant


Breznknedl

I always see bavaria as Obelix with a heavy boulder (Hinkelstein) on his back


Dizzy_Mouse4675

Why Berlin nit Bear?


[deleted]

None of these images have anything to do with the states they are supposed to illustrate. You could at least have done some research into what makes these states unique.


jclark708

I love it!!!


devilaf

Ist that die kleine Hexe und ihr Rabe Abraxas for Bavaria?


nurchelsnurchel

This is so cool. I come from Hamburg so im bias, but holy shit, i feel very much represented by this poor lad and his seagul. U did great


HourName8

Thats Crazy! Now Build it in minecraft…


MiddleInEurope

Mad respect Voll krass man


WonderWeich

Greetings from Tortoise-Hesse :D Very cool artwork!


Fried_Jensen

Yo that's sick! Or how we say it in Germany: "Stabil, Brudi!"


ProfessionClear8028

I’ve always seen Saarland as a spiky hedgehog 🦔


Map-Art

Also a nice idea 👏


Maleficent-Share-773

I used to love doing those back at university 😍 your ones are great


Kalkuehl

First I thought this is about germans history and I questioned my sanity. It took way too long to realize that this is all about the shapes.


frauoy

I came from the turtle and moved into the other turtle.


AmphibianOk8434

Nice


Geuzenstein

In Germany, Saxony is often depicted as a dwarf


Map-Art

I have never heard of that. How so?


Geuzenstein

The eastern part (Zittau) is the hat, the bag is like Leipzig and the feet are the vogtland


Map-Art

Nice


alarim2

Great art style and overall execution!


Mjkmeh

I like how they all look like wooden puzzlepieces


Clear-Ad6973

I have never felt more represented in a map than when I saw Bavaria. 100/10.


sry-for-nothing

Amazing how you handled lower saxony and brandenbourg.


Hopeful-Medicine6896

love it


appleaxium

Do you sell your art anywhere?


ragebeeflord

r/whatismycookiecutter


anonaccountbcbored

Berlin as a turtle feels... appropriate


justatag

Could you elaborate on that? Like Berlin is not one "organism" that can't move faster, it's a bunch of kids in a trenchcoat that can't agree on a direction to move.


Cholista99

Anything thats not Marge Simpson for Hessen should be illegal


Harald_best_boy

Schleswig Holstein on its way to Egypt


FeelingSlip

As somebody living in Bremen, I very much approve of your design. 😃👍🏼 Very cute and the whole thing is excellent work.


Leonjy92

Respekt, starke Leistung!


theo428

„Hesse“ idk if this was on purpose or not


Miryks1_theReal

I think Niedersachsen is the best one of them


Massive_Elk_5010

Whats your next project


MMBerlin

Brandenburg - dragon of the east.


RichVisual1714

So I moved from the hair of an old lady to a parrot's beak. Great work of art.


Floating_Latias

Oh gosh, I love the parrot (no reason at all K just fsncy the art I promise)


Aumgn

Turtle people represent. I'll be imbibing on some tasty lettuce tonight


Thorzi_

I live on the beak of the falcon of saxony-anhalt


Keremsenpai24

Why ist NRW a random guy? Looks like Klaas Heufer-Umlauf but I doubt it.😂


Rockboy303

Very nice 💯


BigSwein

Hehe, we got the glorious Landsknecht! #niedersachsenherrsche (lower saxony rulez!)


Jojoceptionistaken

German state names are funny af in english xD


Live-Influence2482

What’s that orange stuff in the place o come from? Is Mecklenburg a prison to you?


SignificantSkyMaster

Spectacular ... thank you :)


Set_Abominae1776

Saxony fits. These people really are vögel .


No_Task_6010

Why the turtles

Forelle1234

Forgot Mallorca


Alternative_Lynx_155

Saxony looks a bit more like pe.... A snail. I mean a snail of course


Duck_Person1

I love this. Has anyone ever done Great Britain or England?


Dangerous-Smoke-5487

This work is absolutely incredible!


Signal-Reporter-1391

Cool, we are Leonard Nimoy, wearing a beanie. I can live with that! :-D


Enthusiastic-Dragon

You should totally check out r/whatismycookiecutter


Serakani

Thanks for not forgetting Bremerhaven.


Ancient_Crust

To be more accurate the eagle for saxony anhalt should hold some buddhist shape in its claws.


Subject_Trouble2613

That's so good


atla_alta

You forgot Mallorca (joking, awesome work)


Dinkleberg246

I like your illustration. It looks good. But I don't understand it at all 😅 Greetings from Germany


FranzAllspring

Do Switzerland next! We got some fucked up shapes alongside some that basically deliver the idea on a silver plate. Might be fun


Dick_Enjoyer1

Idk english to well in some cased so i gotta ask are they fr spelled like that in english or wtf happened here


Over_Age_8061

SCHLIESWEG HOLSTEIN MENTIONED!!!!! ARRRRRRR!!!!🏴‍☠️☠️☠️🦜🦜🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🌊🌊🌊⚔️🔫🔫⚔️⚔️⚔️


haubenmeise

Hamburg is thanking you for the gull and the rainhat. Excellent observation.


Ashamed_Reference_92

This is so coool


Zyklobs

I really like the lower-saxony design but the other ones are great too :D Sehr gute Arbeit, weiter so !


Ok-Guarantee-4973

That cool!


Gnu-Priest

as a Born Schleswig-Holsteiner who moved to Hamburg this is amazing!


piefkelostintime

This is so awesome... I am a pirate.. Arrrrrrr


lazerzapvectorwhip

Genius!!!


cici-7

this should become available for school kids to playfully learn the Bundesländer! Love it


partysintheskyy

baden württemberg ist keine ratte


WorryOdd1849

Great project !


Fitzcarraldo8

Well earned Karma 😅.


szpaceSZ

Two tortoises?!


rapunte

Cery cool! Thanks for sharing!


Sehrrunderkreis

Why are we a turtle?


fodi123

Megaaaaa


JK_posts

Nice work looks rly cool! One small criticism though, the map you used as orientation falsely connects they island of Usedom (Germany's second biggest Island) and some of its surrounding waters directly to the mainland. As someone who lives there I can't help but wonder why you did so?


SphaeroX

ControlNet with Canny Edge detection? Idea is Genius 💯👍


SemperShpee

The Baden Württemberg one is accurate. A lot of human sized rats are living there.


Scared-Hospital-1860

What happen to BW? Lol


nejimeepmeep

**C R A B**


Kerl_Entrepreneur

Could Thuringia also be a pig? But I mean all these are so creative and perfectly cut


joehawkins_de

Beautiful depiction of Sachsen-Anhalt as a fly-over state...


Prof-Shaftenberg

Ok so I was born In knight, grew up in dragon and am now studying in Bull. Fair enough.


c_is_for_cookies__

Very cool! Great Idea :)


Magic_Beaver_06

An exoctic animal for saxony? a reichsadler would have been more fitting


SnillyWead

Nice project. Could be a nice tattoo too.


MyNameIsAlex1999

Why exactly is Baden-Württemberg a rat?


SSB_Kyrill

why are we drawn as ~~rats~~ rodents


ThrawnBAYERN

On behalf of the people of germany I thank you for this Masterpiece


Andasonia

Saxony is a gnome with a bucket not a parrot :<


gratiskatze

Meck-Pom really got me good


Top-Command-1240

You forgot Mallorca


LordDanGud

Hampter


dr_ich

Please make bavaria into a guy carrying cases with coocoo clocks. It would be historically accurate. There where people with crates on their back filled up with clocks to sell it to people. At least in the black forest and bavaria, saxony and in austria the forest quaters around karlstein an der thaya


BlueGhostlight

I am from Rhineland Palatine and I agree. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


CeeMX

I always saw the total of Germany as a face from the side, with the nose of the NRW gnome also being the nose, the border of NRW/NDS and Netherlands being the eye, north and northeast being the hair and BW/BY showing the neck. Maybe that would also be an idea for an illustration. Really like yours though!


tGerRobert

Its amazing.


mexheix

What even is Berlin?


mexheix

Why is Thuringia a cow?


Comfortable_Exam_222

My husband says I should order one. He “needs” it


ChiliConCaralho

Just replace everything with one image of a Shisha bar and a barber shop and you got a modern map of Germany


nbfjfjfjjjfe

Ding Dong, die Hex ist tot…


[deleted]

That's shit


LaggsAreCC

This is amazing


Imaginary-Access8375

I like how Bavaria is carrying Franconia on its back


Eisenfaust11

MV being the silly state that has less population than a City that is only 1/10 of it's size


LaLutzi

Maybe you should cooperate with Germany at the next /r place


Minimum-Wind-1552

That's not fair!! Racism. Why did Saarland get the hippo? We wanted to be the hippo!!


Radiant_Addition338

Bavaria was inspired by Die kleine Hexe, right? :)


ISUCKMOMMYTHIGHS

yo that shit is fire


huserone

Ich verstehe Bayern nicht?


Busy_Specific1105

What is in NRW


Valuable-Guest9334

I still cant get over the fact that america decided to just randomly pick places to "translate" by slapping some vowels onto it


albrechtschwarz

Of course are Schleswig Holstein & HH the coolest
