Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
The parliament for the whole of Germany is called the Bundestag.
Why is this correct?
The German Bundestag is the elected representative body at federal level.
Background
The Bundestag is usually elected every four years by eligible German citizens and has had 630 members since the 2025 election. It passes federal laws, elects the Federal Chancellor, adopts the federal budget and scrutinises the government. It meets in the Reichstag building in Berlin.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The Federal Convention only meets to elect the Federal President. The Volkskammer (People’s Chamber) was the parliament of the GDR. The Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe is not a parliament but Germany’s highest court for civil and criminal cases.
Memory tip
Bund (federation) + Tag (assembly) = Bundestag.
