State capital: Wiesbaden

Hessen — all 10 state questions for the citizenship test

If you file your citizenship application in Hessen, then 3 of the 10 questions below will appear in your exam, on top of the 300 general questions. The same state questions are used for the Leben in Deutschland test.

Hesse (Hessen) sits in the middle of Germany. Its capital is Wiesbaden, not Frankfurt — that distinction is a favourite exam trap. The red-and-white striped lion on its coat of arms also comes up.
