Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
Image 1 shows the federal coat of arms.
Why is this correct?
The federal coat of arms is the black federal eagle on a gold background; in this image question that is number 1.
Background
The coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Germany shows a black eagle with red claws, a red beak and a red tongue on a golden-yellow background – the federal eagle. You can see it on ID cards, coins, signs on public buildings and in the plenary hall of the Bundestag. Black, red and gold are also the colours of the federal flag.
Why are the other answers wrong?
Image 2 shows the Chi-Rho, a Christian symbol. Image 3 is the Iron Cross, the emblem of the German armed forces (Bundeswehr). Image 4 is the state coat of arms of the GDR with hammer, compass and a wreath of wheat – it has not been used since reunification in 1990.
Memory tip
The federal coat of arms has the same colours as the flag: black, red, gold.
