In the exam (German)

Für wie viele Jahre wird das Landesparlament in Hamburg gewählt?

  1. a33
  2. b44
  3. c55Correct answer
  4. d66

Why?

The Hamburg state parliament, the Hamburgische Bürgerschaft, is elected for five years. It used to be four years; since the 2015 election it has been five. Careful, it is easy to mix them up: the Bürgerschaft in Bremen is still only elected for four years.
