Many thanks to @Vittelius@feddit.de for creating this!
Well done, congrats! Kinda weird you gotta know stuff most Germans don't know to become German. I mean I think Helmut Kohl was in power when the wall fell but I guess Willi Brandt layed the ground work. But who signed something specific? Honestly no Idea even if I went to a German high school.
Tell me how you behave if you sit next to a stranger on a bus when a double seat becomes free and I'll tell you whether you've properly integrated lol
Very good about the chancellors! One of the questions that I didn't get was "Who was the first chancellor of the united Germany?", which is indeed Kohl :).
And I was also joking that the real integration test is how you react when they tell you that you'll receive the results by post. If you nod wisely and agree that's the only correct way, you're ready for citizenship :).
Glückwunsch! For me, a study app helped a lot with the memorization. I used "Leben in Deutschland Test" from the Google Play Store.
I used Anki, which I've used many times in the past for other things. Someone already made a flashcard deck for the Einbürgerungstest, and you could even filter out questions for the other Bundesländer. I was pretty happy with it.
The questions are a mix of things that feel pretty obvious (which war lasted from 1939-1945)
The great Wurst War
Which chancellor was responsible for the Ostverträge?
Angelo Merte
if your Ausländeramt is anything like mine, you dann wait for half a year before you get an appointment to even submit your application 😅
Yeah, and I'm expecting the eait to be even worse once this new law comes through. I'm hoping to at least have everything ready by then, though.
