436. Where can you obtain information on political topics in Saxony-Anhalt?

Answer options

1. from the churches
2. at the State Agency for Civic Education (Landeszentrale für politische Bildung)
3. at the municipality’s public order office (Ordnungsamt)
4. at the consumer advice center

Explanation

The State Agency for Civic Education is a state institution of Saxony-Anhalt that provides non-partisan civic education and information. Its work follows the Beutelsbach Consensus (prohibition on overwhelming, requirement to present controversy, and empowerment for autonomous participation) and implements the Basic Law’s democratic principle that all state authority derives from the people (Article 20(2) GG). Churches and consumer advice centers are important civil-society actors but have no public mandate for comprehensive political information; the Ordnungsamt performs regulatory and public-order functions. Within German federalism, responsibility for civic education primarily rests with the Länder, which is why each Land maintains its own Landeszentrale.
