What is meant by the right to “freedom of movement” (Freizügigkeit) in Germany?
In the exam (German)

- aYou may choose for yourself where you live.Man darf sich seinen Wohnort selbst aussuchen.Correct answer
- bYou can change your job.Man kann seinen Beruf wechseln.
- cYou may decide to follow a different religion.Man darf sich für eine andere Religion entscheiden.
- dYou may only go out in public lightly dressed.Man darf sich in der Öffentlichkeit nur leicht bekleidet bewegen.
Why?
Freizügigkeit means that you may decide for yourself where you live and move there. For Germans, Article 11 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz) guarantees this throughout the whole federal territory. The free choice of occupation is protected by a different fundamental right (Article 12), and freedom of religion by Article 4.
