What is different about Mülheim an der Ruhr
Saturday exams
telc B1 runs on Saturdays here, which saves taking a working day off - not something every centre in the Ruhr offers.
The federal citizenship test
The vhs runs the bundeseinheitlicher Einbürgerungstest, the standard national version, so the result is valid wherever your naturalisation file is processed.
Essen and Duisburg are minutes away
Both are published on this site and both are a short S-Bahn ride, which matters because access rules for the DTZ differ sharply between Ruhr cities.
