German citizenship test Schleswig-Holstein — the 10 state questions explained

If you sit the test in Schleswig-Holstein, 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.

Schleswig-Holstein is the only state lying between the North Sea and the Baltic, which the Kiel Canal has linked since 1895. In the north runs the border with Denmark settled by referendum in 1920, and the state constitution expressly protects the Danish minority and the Frisians. The Wadden Sea is World Natural Heritage, and Lübeck was once the head of the Hanseatic League.

What to know about this state

The state constitution here expressly protects the Danish minority and the Frisian ethnic group; for that reason the South Schleswig Voters' Association is exempt from the five-percent threshold in the Landtag. Naturalisation applications are received by the districts and the four independent cities.
