Hesse (German: Hessen) is one of Germany's sixteen federal states (Bundesländer).
Situated in western-central Germany, Hessen borders on (from the north-west and clockwise) the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Thuringia, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate.
The state is called Hessen in German and Hesse in English; the English name for the state was taken from French.

Its rural character is very much the result of the west and east Hessen mountains and the west Hessen depression running north to south between them.
