More about the state of Saarland

Before reviewing the questions and answers for the German naturalization test for Saarland, let’s briefly get to know the state. Saarland is located in the southwestern part of Germany. With a population of approximately one million, it is one of the smallest states in Germany. The capital of Saarland is Saarbrücken. The state is bordered by Rhineland-Palatinate to the north and south, France to the south, and Luxembourg to the west. Saarland consists of six cities: Merzig-Wadern, Neunkirchen, Saarbrücken, Saarlouis, Saarpfalz, and St. Wendel.

Saarland is home to many well-known national and international companies, including Bosch, Villeroy-Boch, Michelin, Ludwig Schokolade, ZF, and Friedrichshafen. These companies are spread throughout the state due to the lack of transportation issues. Saarland residents proudly refer to their state as the “World Capital of Informatics” because of the numerous important research institutions located there. Visitors to this state are welcomed with hospitality and natural beauty.

Although German is predominantly spoken in Saarland, the state’s past association with France has left a cultural influence that can be seen in various areas, from cuisine to art. The state is also home to the Saarland University of Applied Sciences and Saarland University. All departments of Saarland University, except for the Medical School, are located on the Saarbrücken campus. Now, it is the time for citizenship test for Saarland!
