State Questions: Berlin

Berlin is Germany's federal capital and simultaneously its own federal state (city-state) — with around 3.8 million residents, it is the country's largest city. Until reunification in 1990 the city was divided into East and West Berlin; the Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989. Berlin has 12 boroughs, a directly-elected Senate, and an Abgeordnetenhaus (House of Representatives) instead of a Landtag. The Einbürgerungstest's ten Berlin-specific questions cover the division era, the city's coat of arms with its bear, the seats of federal government, and Berlin's dual role as a city and state.
