Editing Schleswig-Holstein (section)

===Symbols===
The [[coat of arms]] shows the symbols of the two duchies united in Schleswig-Holstein, i.e., the two lions for Schleswig and the leaf of nettle for Holstein. Supposedly, [[Otto von Bismarck]] decreed that the two lions were to face the nettle because of the discomfort to their bottoms which would have resulted if the lions faced away from it.

Government agencies of Schleswig-Holsteins are using a logo showing a stylized version of the Schleswig Lions and the Holstein nettle combined with the abbreviation of Schleswig-Holstein "SH". Written either below or to the right of the lion and the nettle is "Schleswig-Holstein" below which either the Name of the agency using the logo is shown or the motto "Der echte Norden" (Germany's true North).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Landesmarke Staatskanzlei – Marken-Manual SH |url=https://www.marken-manual.sh/arbeiten-mit-der-marke/landesmarke-staatskanzlei |access-date=17 April 2022 |website=www.marken-manual.sh |archive-date=15 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210615102552/https://www.marken-manual.sh/arbeiten-mit-der-marke/landesmarke-staatskanzlei |url-status=live }}</ref>

The motto of Schleswig-Holstein is ''"Up ewich ungedeelt"'' ([[Middle Low German]]: "Forever undivided", modern High German: ''"Auf ewig ungeteilt"''). It goes back to the [[Treaty of Ribe]] (Danish: Ribe Håndfæstning German: Handfeste von Ripen) in 1460. Ripen ([[Ribe]]) is a historical small town in [[Northern Schleswig]], nowadays Denmark.<ref name="Landesportal Schleswig-Holstein-2" />

The anthem from 1844 is called "[[Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland]]" ("Don't falter, my fatherland"), but it is usually referred to with its first line ''"Schleswig-Holstein meerumschlungen"'' (i.e., "Schleswig-Holstein embraced by the seas") or "Schleswig-Holstein-Lied" (Schleswig-Holstein song).

The old city of Lübeck is a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]].
