"Königin" is the German word for "queen," referring to a female monarch who rules a kingdom or territory. A queen often holds a ceremonial role and may have significant influence over political matters, depending on the country's governance structure. In some monarchies, such as the United Kingdom, a queen may serve as a constitutional figurehead, while in others, she may have more direct power. In addition to her political role, a queen often symbolizes national identity and unity. She may participate in various cultural and social events, representing her country both domestically and internationally. The title of queen can also be associated with historical figures, such as Queen Elizabeth II or Marie Antoinette.
