About the Lower Saxony Zentralabitur German Exam

Lower Saxony Zentralabitur Deutsch is the statewide written German examination administered by the Niedersächsisches Kultusministerium, based on the Bildungsstandards Deutsch für die Allgemeine Hochschulreife (BiSta AHR-D, KMK 18.10.2012) and the Kerncurriculum Deutsch KC-II (2016). For 2026 the exam emphasizes WPM 6 Kleist (Der zerbrochne Krug; eA Marquise von O. and Marionettentheater), WPM 4 Großstadt literature (Keun Das kunstseidene Mädchen; eA Ringelnatz …liner Roma…), and political-social language use as one of four Auswahlaufgaben. Candidates write one textbezogen/materialgestützt Aufgabe — not MCQ. This free English MCQ bank trains content and exam-literacy knowledge before students practise the official German constructed-response format.

Exam sponsor: Niedersächsisches Kultusministerium (Lower Saxony Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
