[[Image:Deutschland_Lage_von_Baden-Württemberg.png|250px|thumb||right|Location of '''Baden-Württemberg''' in [[Germany]]]]'''Baden-Würtemberg''' is a [[Germany|German]] federal state (german ''Bundesland'').
It is the gateway state if you want to go to [[Lyon]], [[Milano]] or [[Switzerland]]. The highways [[A5 (Germany)|A5]] and the [[A81 (Germany)|A81]] are crossing '''Baden-Württemberg''' in north-south direction, the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] and [[A6 (Germany)|A6]] in direction west-east.
It is third largest in both area and population among the country's sixteen states, with an area of 35,742 square kilometers (13,800.1 sq mi) and 10.7 million inhabitants (both almost equivalent to all of [[Belgium]]). It's capital is [[Stuttgart]].
===Language===
In many areas of '''Baden-Württemberg''', residents speak the distinctive dialects of Swabian (''Schwäbisch'') and ''Badisch''/Allemanic, which both are known for being almost unintelligible to northern Germans, especially in its stronger forms in the countryside. In the northern part of '''Baden-Württemberg''', i.e. the area around [[Heidelberg]] and [[Mannheim]], a third kind of dialect is spoken, known as ''Kurpfälzisch''.
