Brandenburg citizenship test: all 10 state questions with answers

Brandenburg completely surrounds Berlin and borders Poland to the east. Since reunification in 1990 it has been one of the five “new” federal states. Its capital is Potsdam – not the town of Brandenburg an der Havel or Frankfurt (Oder), which appear in the test as wrong answers. The other questions cover the coat of arms, the state parliament, districts and the government.
