Free practice for the German citizenship test, with the 10 BAMF state-specific questions for Schleswig-Holstein.
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 Schleswig-Holstein's pool — the same as the real BAMF Einbürgerungstest. The 30 general questions you'll see are the same across Germany.
Schleswig-Holstein is Germany's northernmost state, bordering Denmark and bounded by both the North Sea and Baltic Sea — the only Bundesland on both. Its 1474 Treaty of Ribe to remain "forever undivided" between the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein eventually proved untrue (Schleswig was contested with Denmark through the 1860s). The Einbürgerungstest covers Kiel as capital and host of sailing events, Lübeck's Hanseatic UNESCO old town, and the state's Danish-speaking minority (the Südschleswigscher Wählerverband holds Landtag seats).
Schleswig-Holstein offers the test at VHS centers in Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg, and Neumünster. Flensburg has Danish-medium options for the small Danish minority — a unique feature of this Bundesland.
Schleswig-Holstein borders Denmark and has a 50,000-strong Danish minority concentrated near Flensburg. The Südschleswigscher Wählerverband (SSW), a political party representing this minority, holds seats in the state Landtag — the only such ethnic-minority party in any German state parliament.
Schleswig-Holstein is the only Bundesland with coastlines on both the North Sea (Nordsee) and the Baltic Sea (Ostsee). The Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal), one of the world's busiest shipping canals, links the two seas and runs through the state.
