Hesse (German: Hessen) is one of the 16 states of Germany.
Its population is just over 6 million and its capital city is Wiesbaden - but its largest city is nearby Frankfurt am Main.
Situated in west-central Germany, Hesse borders the German states of (starting in the north and proceeding clockwise) Lower Saxony, Thuringia, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, and North Rhine-Westphalia.
The principal cities of Hesse include Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Offenbach, Hanau, Gießen, Wetzlar, and Limburg in the greater Rhine Main Area, Fulda in the east, and Kassel and Marburg an der Lahn in the north.
