How smart is Germany? was an interactive TV show first broadcast on ZDF in April 2007 . As the title of the quiz program suggests, the knowledge of German citizens was to be tested. Every citizen was able to answer the quiz questions asked by phone or via the Internet on the ZDF homepage and represented the federal state from which he was calling or from where he was participating via the Internet. The moderator of the knowledge show, in which tricky everyday questions - for example from the fields of physics, medicine, technology, flora and fauna - were asked, was Johannes B. Kerner . When How Smart is Germany? A total of 700,000 callers played along by phone.

Four celebrities were invited per broadcast. A thematically appropriate celebrity heads a team of 49 people from a professional or interest group (musicians, surfers, pilots, etc.). When the program was broadcast for the second time, Jan Fedder, who played a police officer on TV, formed one of the four 50-person guessing teams with 49 real police officers. 200 people use it to answer the multiple-choice questions in the studio, each with four possible answers.
