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

What's specific to Rhineland-Palatinate

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 Rhineland-Palatinate's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.

Rhineland-Palatinate hosts Germany's oldest city — Trier, founded by the Romans in 16 BCE — and contains six of the country's 13 wine regions, making it the leading wine producer. The state was created in 1946 by French occupation forces from parts of the former Prussian Rhine Province and Bavaria. The Einbürgerungstest covers Mainz as capital and birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg's printing press (~1450), the Roman heritage of Trier (Porta Nigra UNESCO site), and the state's role as the home of the Rheinland-Pfalz wine industry.
