How Many German States (16) Use The Term 'Freistat' In The Title?

 The term 'Freistat' basically is a historical term and would translate to something like the 'free state of'.

Saxony, Thuringia, Hamburg, Bremen, and Bavaria use the term.  The other eleven don't use it in identifying themselves.  

The use of this?  I'd say it's pretty rare that new journalists will use it.  Maybe during ceremonies with political big-wigs would be the only time you hear the phrase used.
