German citizenship test Thuringia — the 10 state questions explained

If you sit the test in Thuringia, 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.

The Freistaat of Thuringia was dissolved in the GDR in 1952 and broken up into the districts of Erfurt, Gera and Suhl; only on 3 October 1990 did it return as a state. It lies in the middle of the country with no external border. In Weimar the first all-German democratic constitution was drawn up in 1919, and on the nearby Ettersberg the Buchenwald memorial stands as a warning.

What to know about this state

The official name is the Freistaat Thüringen. Because the state was dissolved in the GDR in 1952 and only restored on 3 October 1990, that re-founding is itself a subject of the ten state questions. Naturalisations are the responsibility of the rural districts and the independent cities.
