Free practice for the German citizenship test, with the 10 BAMF state-specific questions for Saarland.
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 Saarland's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.
Saarland is Germany's smallest non-city-state and only joined West Germany in 1957 — a unique post-war path among the Bundesländer. From 1947 to 1956 it was a French protectorate with its own franc, and a 1955 referendum returned it to Germany. The Einbürgerungstest emphasizes Saarland's bilingual French-German heritage, the Völklinger Hütte ironworks (UNESCO World Heritage), and Saarbrücken's role as the only Bundesland capital ever to have its own currency.
Saarland offers the test at VHS centers in Saarbrücken, Neunkirchen, Saarlouis, and Völklingen. Because the state is small, dates are less frequent than in larger states — register 4-6 weeks in advance.
Saarland joined the Federal Republic on 1 January 1957 after a 1955 referendum where 67% of voters chose reunification with Germany. From 1947 to 1957 it had been a French protectorate with the Franken-Saarland (Saar franc) as currency. This is a key topic in the Saarland question pool.
Saarland's history under French administration (1920-1935 and 1947-1957) and its border with France (Lorraine) created lasting bilingual culture. Many residents speak both German and French, and the state government promotes French language teaching from primary school onward — the only German state to do so.
