Free practice for the German citizenship test, with the 10 BAMF state-specific questions for Lower Saxony.
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 Lower Saxony's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.
Lower Saxony is Germany's second-largest state by area, stretching from the North Sea to the Harz mountains. It hosts Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg — a city built specifically for VW workers in 1938. The state was formed in 1946 by merging the former Prussian province of Hannover with three smaller states (Brunswick, Oldenburg, and Schaumburg-Lippe). The Einbürgerungstest covers Hannover as capital, Volkswagen's economic role, and the state's role as the historical homeland of the British royal family (House of Hanover).
Lower Saxony offers the test at VHS centers in Hannover, Braunschweig, Osnabrück, Oldenburg, Göttingen, and Wolfsburg, plus dozens of smaller centers. The state has the most test locations after North Rhine-Westphalia.
Wolfsburg was founded in 1938 as the company town for Volkswagen, which had its main factory built there. Today VW remains Lower Saxony's largest employer and the state government holds 20% of VW shares — a unique arrangement covered in the question pool.
From 1714 to 1837, the kings of Great Britain were also Electors and (from 1814) Kings of Hanover, the rulers of what is now Lower Saxony's capital region. King George I of Britain spoke German as his first language. The personal union ended in 1837 when Hannover passed to a male heir under Salic law.
