German Citizenship Test: Symbols and Public Holidays — 6 questions

The flag, the coat of arms, the national anthem and the Day of German Unity — a small block, and free marks if you learn all of it. This block covers 6 of the 300 general questions, so on average about 0.6 of the 30 general questions in your exam will come from it.

What this block tests

This question is about national symbols and public holidays. The block is small, so aim to get every one of them right: the federal flag is black-red-gold, the coat of arms shows a black eagle on a gold field, the national anthem is the third verse of the Deutschlandlied (“Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit”), and the national holiday is 3 October, the Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Day of German Unity).
