[Video] Would Germans pass the German citizenship test?

Nov 19, 2022

Think you’ve got what it takes to become a naturalised German citizen? Turns out, it’s not so easy, even for people who are born and bred Germans! 

Do you know the answers to these German naturalisation test questions?

As most expats in Germany probably know, to get German citizenship by naturalisation, you need to pass a naturalisation test that not only examines your German language proficiency but also your knowledge of German history, culture, politics and society. 

Naturalisation tests are notoriously difficult to pass, demanding knowledge of specific and sometimes obscure facts about life in Germany - so much so that, as YouTube channel Easy German discovered, some people born in Germany don’t even know the answers. 

Check out how people on the streets of Berlin got on in the video below, and see if you know the answers!
