Where can you obtain information about political topics in Schleswig-Holstein?

- B at the Municipal Public Order Office
- C at the State Commissioner for Political Education ✓ Correct answer
- D at the churches
Explanation
Each German federal state has an official civic education authority responsible for providing neutral, reliable information on politics and democracy. In Schleswig-Holstein this role is held by the state commissioner/office for political education. Other listed institutions focus on consumer protection, public order, or religious matters and are not dedicated to political education.
Tips
- Look for keywords like “Landeszentrale” or “Landesbeauftragte für politische Bildung.”
- Consumer centers focus on consumer rights, not politics.
- Ordnungsämter handle local order, not political education.
- Churches provide religious guidance, not official civic education.
