Free practice for the German citizenship test, with the 10 BAMF state-specific questions for 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 Saxony's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.
Saxony was reconstituted in 1990 from East German districts, restoring boundaries that go back to the Kingdom of Saxony (1806-1918). It is home to the Frauenkirche in Dresden, rebuilt 1994-2005 after WWII destruction as a symbol of reconciliation. The Einbürgerungstest covers Dresden as capital, the Leipzig peaceful revolution (Montagsdemonstrationen) of 1989 that helped end East Germany, and Saxony's industrial past (the Saxon Triangle including Chemnitz, Zwickau, and Dresden was a key 19th-century manufacturing region).
Saxony offers the test at VHS centers in Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Zwickau, and Görlitz. Leipzig has the highest test frequency due to demand from international students at Leipzig University.
The Montagsdemonstrationen ("Monday demonstrations") in Leipzig in autumn 1989 were peaceful weekly protests that helped bring down the East German regime. The 9 October 1989 demonstration drew 70,000 people; by 6 November 500,000 marched. They are a defining topic in Saxony's question pool.
Yes — the Kingdom of Saxony existed from 1806 to 1918, when the German Revolution ended the monarchy. Dresden was the royal capital and Saxon kings (the Wettin dynasty) had ruled the region since the 15th century. The Frauenkirche and Dresden's baroque old town date from this royal era.
