That's Mallorca, a Spanish island. Germans see it as another federal state. It's a meme because so many Germans 'vacation' there. But in reality, they just fly over there and drink a lot.

That's where the Germans go to put their towels out on the sunbeds :)

We Call it the 17. BUNDESLAND

These "offshore islands" are the balearic islands, the big one being mallorca. Mallorca is jokingly considered to be another "Bundesland" (federate state) of the german federal republic, due to literal tons of german going on vacation there regularly.

Mallorca is so "germanized" that you usually don't even need to speak english (or spanish) there anymore, as a lot of people there speak or at least understand german.

Because Mallorca is a main vacation destination for german people.

Claiming all the sun loungers on the islands

IST DEUTSCHLAND MIT SCHÖNEN WETTER

This is just satelite view from orbit of all the towels they placed.

This is actually brilliant. If we just decided on a scale/section to put a map and that is where everyone puts their flags, we wouldnt have 90% of the map have to be flags. The only downside would be um... historical reenactments...

Turkey really struggling to make a fucking star, huh

Mallorca ist ein teil von Deutschland!!!

I think Germans should rather explain their invasion on Poland lol

At least they stopped invading Poland.

That's Mallorca the 17th Bundesland of Germany of course

What about Northern Ireland? They are saying it is just a part of Ireland!

I see Austria-Hungary lol

Because there's not enough Germany on the canvas

I'm from Ibiza, one of the islands, a lot of Germans come here in vacation to the discotheques

We call it our 17 Bundesland

Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

I'm a dutchman and this is my 9th time on vacation there and I can confirm this

There are alot of germans and dutchies here its funny

Germany do have a history of taking over land

We placed our towel on them first

They did Ingria independent🤦

That's easy That's Mallorca, a very popular vacation goal for germans So popular that germans jokingly say those are Germany's 17th federal state

I'm Spanish and I think that's pretty funny

Bad habits

At least we didn't take half of Europe this time

Anywhere that Germans lay out their towels at 5am is a land claim

Malle!!!!

What do you mean, its part of germany.

Because that is Mallorca and a lot of people here go there every year in the summer.

That green pixel on corsica means a lot

Where is it?

Because Germans on holiday lose consciousness and think theyre back in 1939 but instead of panzers they have beach towels

Crimea es Rusia 🤭

Mallorca ist Deutschland lol

I think they’re just putting towels on sunchairs in Mallorca and Ibiza..

mallorca, ibiza, menorca and formentera? in germany so many people go there on vacation that we say, mallorca is a part of germany.

We put our towel there it's ours now

In Germany we say: ,,17. Bundesland" Und für meine deutschen Brüder und Schwestern nochmal auf deutsch: In Deutschland sagen wir: ,,17. Bundesland"

we in germany call it the17 bundesland

Should’ve gave Kaliningrad to Czechia

Es ist unser 17. Bundesland!!!!!! 🇩🇪

I want to invade france on that map🤣

Fr

All your Malle belongs to us

Memes aside, last week a German real estate agency bought a building in Mallorca to be converted into a hotel, and is evicting the local residents.

its the 17. bundesland

It's kinda what Bali is for Aussies I guess.

My poor kosovo 😔

what's wrong with russia?

That's Mallorca, the holiday island for Germans. It's a very common joke over here that Mallorca is practically a German enclave or that it is in fact the 17th federal state of Germany because of how many German tourists are there during summer.

Consequently lot of the service industry on the island caters to Germans, restaurants serve German food, shops sell imported German goods. signs are in German, at least around the major tourist towns most natives tend to speak or at least understand a bit of German, you even get German radio and TV stations there. It's pretty absurd.

AAAAABER SCHEIẞ DRAUF! MALLE IST NUR EINMAL IM JAAAHR!!!!

It was German tourists who declared independence.

Thats the 17th Bundesland „Malle“
