The word is a compound of Landes-, an attributive form related to Land, and Vorsitzende, the feminine substantivized present participle of vorsitzen, 'to preside'.

Usage tips

  • German uses Land for a federal state as well as for country or land, so Landes- here marks the party's federal-state level rather than a whole country.
