German citizenship test Bavaria — the 10 state questions explained

If you sit the test in Bavaria, three of your 33 questions come from exactly these ten. The other 30 are federal. Questions from other states will not appear in your test.

Bavaria bears the title Freistaat and has a constitution of its own, adopted by the people in a referendum on 1 December 1946, earlier than the Basic Law. By area it is the largest state, borders Austria and the Czech Republic, and holds the country's highest mountain in the Zugspitze. Its Landtag sits in Munich's Maximilianeum, and the white-and-blue lozenges are its best-known emblem.

What to know about this state

In Bavaria naturalisations are handled by the district administrative authorities — the Landratsämter and the independent cities. There is no single central state authority for this: the office responsible is your own district office or city. The ten state questions take up the title Freistaat, the 1946 constitution and the state symbols.
