Can you name the largest cities in each German District (Kreis) using the Flash quiz?

Source: Citypopulation, Geonames for Coordinates
Name the largest cities in each German district. When done enter any codes received into the Sporcle Quiz. SEE NOTES.
NOTES: A few districts have no markers in them - this is due to a shapefile created before some of them (mostly in the NE) merged, I couldn't find an up to date shapefile. Credit is also given for completing the 16 German states (boundaries highlighted in a lighter color). Hovering the mouse over a marker will show the name of the district, the state, and the pop of the largest city. IF THE DISTRICT IS AN URBAN DISTRICT (a 'kreisfreien Städte') only the part of the name WITHOUT the city's name will be displayed (usually it will say "Stadt District"), otherwise you'd easily be able to name about 100 of them. Markers are coded according to population categories on bottom right.

	Here's a try at a different largest places in adm divisions quiz after my US County one. Let me know of any issues - I think I have all the German districts correct, but may be off on one..enjoy!

	Hi, I'm not sure about the concept (the biggest city of a district?) I guess that some big cities will drop out because they're not the biggest in their district. Didn't you want to do just "the biggest German cities"?

	FelixtheBear:	Mar 14th, 2012 at 02:33 GMT		4 points
	Nuremberg should be accepted along with Nurnberg. Great job as always!

	great quiz. would love to see one for France

	I got two states, Berlin and Hamburg. Biggest cities in each state: Berlin and Hamburg, respectively.

	1447, Bremen is also easy. There are no more than two cities there. :) darinh, excellent quiz, you deserve a big DANKE! and yes, this is insanely difficult... having lived in seven German states, I still got no more than 224 cities. And only three states completed (I wonder what that missing place in Saxony is).

	Finally a quiz which I could dominate - at least that's what I had thought before actually starting the quiz. Sure, I got tons of cities, yet still couldn't complete more than three states. Still much easier than the US version, though.

	You put Wittenberge where Lutherstadt-Wittenberg is supposed to be. Consequently, the spot for Wittenberge doesn't work and I couldn't figure out any other city you might've put there instead. Everything else seems to be fine. Fantastic quiz as usual.

	darinh:	Mar 14th, 2012 at 15:23 GMT		1 point
	ahh - the one where Lutherstadt-Wittenberg should be just Wittenberg without the E, the one up north does work as Wittenberge - will fix later today.

	when you go with the cursor over a point it says for example "kleve district" and in most cases the district is named after the biggest city (kleve)..is it supposed to be like that?

	darinh:	Mar 14th, 2012 at 17:36 GMT		2 points
	@hsver: yeah a number of non-urban districts do happen to share a name with the largest city - I decided to leave their names as-is, as it is the name of a regional district, one can choose whether to use the mouse-over or not for them.

	Ganzohnesushi:	Apr 10th, 2012 at 16:52 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz! Can't believe I just completed the easy four states Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen and Saarland. I know my country so well and still achieved only 325/403. Must travel more, haha...

	Dantelle:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 18:08 GMT		1 point
	I don't really get what we have to do here, to be honest. I tried to type in my home city (Neuss) but I get cut off after "neu"? Also, is it normal to only get a few codes within the 3 minutes? I think I could type in more than 100 cities during the 3 minutes and got one code.

	BekBek:	Apr 28th, 2012 at 12:43 GMT		3 points
	@ Dantelle: You have to enter the cities in the "Enter guesses here" box within the flash game. There is no time limit. When you are finished or can't think of any other cities you press the "Play Game" button to start the regular Sporcle quiz and enter the codes you got so far.
