Hesse
Hesse
or
Hessia
( ,
Hessian dialect
:
Hesse
) is a
federal state (Land)
of the
Federal Republic of Germany
, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is
Wiesbaden
; the largest city is
Frankfurt am Main
. Until the formation of the
German Reich
in 1871, Hesse was an independent country ruled by a Grand Duke (
Grand Duchy of Hesse
). Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire
cultural region
of Hesse which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as
Rhenish Hesse
(Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of
Rhineland-Palatinate
.
