Leben in Deutschland Test — Baden-Württemberg

Free practice for the German citizenship test, with the 10 BAMF state-specific questions for Baden-Württemberg.

What's specific to Baden-Württemberg

Each Bundesland has a 10-question pool of state-specific questions about its parliament, capital, geography, and government. When you take the mock test, 3 of the 33 questions are randomly drawn from Baden-Württemberg's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.

Baden-Württemberg is Germany's third-largest state by both area and population and home to the country's industrial heartland — Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Bosch all originate here. The state was formed in 1952 by merging the historical regions of Baden, Württemberg-Hohenzollern and Württemberg-Baden, the only German state created by post-war referendum. The Einbürgerungstest emphasizes this unique constitutional history.
