Germany’s most northerly state, bordering on Denmark, is defined by its location between the Baltic and the North Sea. The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea tidal flats and wetlands form a national park with world natural heritage status. Tourism is a mainstay of the state’s economy, as are maritime sectors such as shipbuilding, port logistics, fisheries, and marine research and technology. The unemployment rate in what is a thinly populated state is about 5.4%, putting it roughly in line with the national average. There are three national or ethnic minorities in Schleswig-Holstein: the Danish minority, the Frisian ethnic minority, and the German Sinti and Roma.
