To state one's country of origin.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Germans often identify strongly with their 'Bundesland' (federal state). A person from Bavaria might say 'Ich komme aus Bayern' to emphasize their specific cultural heritage. When a Swiss person says 'Ich komme aus {der|f} Schweiz', they are often highlighting their multilingual background (German, French, Italian, Romansh). Austrians are very proud of their distinct identity from Germany. Saying 'Ich komme aus Österreich' is a clear marker of this distinction. The question 'Woher kommst du?' can be complex for second-generation immigrants. They might answer with their German city but be asked 'Und woher wirklich?' (And where from really?), which is a debated topic in German society.
