German exam centres in Ludwigsburg
Ludwigsburg has an access rule that catches people out: the Volkshochschule runs the DTZ and Leben in Deutschland only for its own course participants. External candidates need inlingua, and the citizenship test sits with a third provider entirely.

What is different about Ludwigsburg
The citizenship test is elsewhere again
The vhs does not administer the Einbürgerungstest and points candidates to the Schiller Volkshochschule. Three providers, three different jobs.
Four to six weeks of notice
Registration deadlines here commonly fall four to six weeks before the sitting, and generally follow a personal consultation. Start earlier than feels necessary.
Stuttgart is 15 minutes away
