"Rhineland-Palatinate is home to the world's tallest cold-water geyser, which shoots up 60 meters, and nearly three-quarters of Germany's wine production comes from this region."
"The state election on March 22 is shaping up to be a pivotal moment, with the CDU narrowly in front at 29% and the SPD at 28%."
"Pollsters currently place the Liberals below 3%, well below the 5% threshold that would allow them to enter the state parliament."
Rhineland-Palatinate, home to the largest US air base outside the US, is significant for its wine production and political landscape.
