Leben in Deutschland Test — Saxony-Anhalt

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

What's specific to Saxony-Anhalt

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

Saxony-Anhalt was created in 1990 from former East German districts and contains the heartland of the German Reformation: Wittenberg, where Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the Schlosskirche door in 1517. The state has four UNESCO World Heritage sites — more than any other Bundesland — including the Bauhaus sites in Dessau, the Luther memorials in Wittenberg and Eisleben, the Quedlinburg old town, and the Naumburg Cathedral. The Einbürgerungstest emphasizes this dense cultural heritage.
