Leben in Deutschland Test — Thuringia

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

What's specific to Thuringia

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

Thuringia is the cultural heart of central Germany, home to Weimar — the seat of Goethe and Schiller and the birthplace of the Weimar Republic in 1919. The state was reconstituted in 1990 from East German districts. Eisenach hosts the Wartburg Castle (UNESCO World Heritage), where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German in 1521-22. The Einbürgerungstest covers Erfurt as capital, the Bauhaus origins in Weimar (1919-1925), and Thuringia's Goethe-Schiller cultural heritage.

Frequently asked questions about the Einbürgerungstest in Thuringia

Where can I take the Einbürgerungstest in Thuringia?

Thuringia offers the test at VHS Erfurt, Jena, Weimar, Gera, and Eisenach. Jena has the most frequent dates because of Friedrich-Schiller-Universität's large international student body.

What is the Weimar Republic?

The Weimar Republic (Weimarer Republik) was Germany's first parliamentary democracy, established in 1919. The constitution was drafted in Weimar (the Berlin streets weren't safe enough). It lasted until 1933 when the Nazis came to power. Weimar is a recurring topic in the Thuringian question pool.

Why is Wartburg Castle important?

Wartburg Castle near Eisenach is where Martin Luther hid in 1521-22 and translated the New Testament into German — a translation that helped standardize the modern German language. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and central to Thuringia's state identity.
