German license plates are a very capacious and interesting topic. By and large
account, we are talking about a whole system of registration and control of use
vehicles (hereinafter referred to as “vehicles”). The very first license plates
appeared in Berlin in 1892, and in 1906 it was introduced
All-German license plate system. Currently in use
format adopted in 1994; the left side of the license plate is occupied by blue
rectangle with the symbol of the European Union, under it in white
the letter D (Deutschland) is printed, followed by a letter code or prefix,
containing from one to three characters, depending on the population
point and its location. The following rule applies: than
the larger the city, the fewer letters - so, a one-letter prefix
assigned in the most big cities Germany(B - Berlin, K - Cologne, M
- Munich, F - Frankfurt am Main). But to designate the cities of Eastern
In Germany, several letters are more often used, because after unification
countries in 1990, short letter combinations were already used in
cities in West Germany. Here's a small example: in Düsseldorf
single-letter prefix “D”, and in Dresden - “DD”, in addition, in eastern
areas have fewer registered cars, and this allows
use three letter codes. There are a few more exceptions - these are
letter combinations in the codes of former Hanseatic cities, in their prefixes on
The first place is the letter "N". The code combination for Hamburg plates is
"NN" (Hansestadt Hamburg), and in Rostock - "HRO".
After the prefix of the city or region code of the federal state there are
emission test sticker and inspection sticker
safety of a car or other vehicle, after them there is another
letter code and digital combination. There is no more on a license plate
eight letters and numbers.
If the region of the federal state does not change when the vehicle is sold, then the numbers may remain the same.

Car owners have the opportunity to install on their vehicles
means personal license plates, which are reflected as the name
city, and your own initials with the year of birth, but only in that
case if the selected code has nothing to do with “prohibited
combinations of letters." Most of the prohibited letter combinations are associated with
the period of Nazism in German history(SS, SA, HJ, NS, KZ), so on
license plates in Saxony-Anhalt use the prefix "LSA" (Land
Sachsen Anhalt). In addition, combinations that are
which indicate obscene expressions.
Special seasonal license plates have the last two digits of the combination
indicate the period during which vehicle counts
registered, the upper digit indicates the month in which such
period, and the last one is the month of its end.

Short-term license plates are provided for unregistered vehicles,
valid for five days, their digital code begins with “04”.
On the right side of the license plate there is a yellow stripe indicating
expiration date of the number.
When taking a car out of the country, special signs are issued for
exported cars whose owners are not citizens
Germany. On the left side of such signs there is no blue field with the image
EU symbol, replaced by a red stripe with the end date
insurance contract.

Car numbers of persons with diplomatic status have their own characteristics
immunity. Instead of a prefix, a number is shown on the license plate
“0”, and for cars of representatives of the highest echelon of power the following are accepted
designations: “0-1” - for TS of Presidents, “0-2” - for prime ministers, “0-3”
— ministers of foreign affairs, “1-1” — chairmen of parliaments.
Vehicles of the Armed Forces have numbers on which, instead of
blue stripe with the EU symbol, the national flag of Germany is depicted, and
the code starts with the letter "Y" followed by a six-digit number
a combination of numbers or five digits if we are talking about motorcycles. At the cars
assigned to NATO units located in Germany,
similar license plates, only the code starts with “X” and the number
four-digit, for example: X-2345.
Not everyone knows that for collector cars from thirty years ago
There are also “special” numbers, their digital combination
starts with "07". In addition, the collector must have in his hands
a special certificate confirming that the cars do not have criminal records
history, and all components are original and in working order.
It is allowed to have one set of signs for the entire collection, but in this
In this case, the collector must clearly record all transactions with numbers.

In the 70s of the last century, by order of the German government, Karlgeorg Höfer
(Karlgeorg Hoefer) developed a unique font, which later received
the name “making it difficult to falsify” (Fälschungserschwerende Schrift).
This font has only been used for license plates since November 2000.
Its peculiarity is the impossibility of changing the code, since each
the sign has almost no common elements with other signs, and “interrupt” P with
R or F on E is extremely difficult.

It would seem that it could be easier to obtain or buy a registration plate after purchasing a car. It turns out that the “rectangular tin” is not as simple as it seems. For example, in Germany, cars cannot have license plates with a certain combination of letters.

But first, let’s figure out what the letters on the registration numbers of German cars actually mean. Firstly, the letters and numbers of the number themselves must be painted in black paint on a white background in a special font, which in German sounds like Falschungserschwerende Schrift. By the way, in Russian it will sound - making falsification difficult. The letters themselves on the car license plates indicate the city in which the car owner lives. B – for Berlin, M – for Munich, K – Cologne, etc. It is worth noting that numbers with the same letter have big cities West Germany. Smaller cities have three letters in the registration plate, indicating the city itself and the area in which it is located.

Any car owner in Germany can purchase individual beautiful license plates for a car, and everything will be legal; you just need to pay an additional 12 euros. The only thing you need to consider is that the registration letters correspond to the city of residence. Thus, residents of the city of Pirna can buy the number PIR-AT 69, and a resident of Kiel can buy KI-LL 666. Also in Germany, numbers with initials are popular, for example, Peter Jackson can get the number B-PJ 87 (the numbers can indicate the year of birth).

It is not recommended or permitted to put numbers with a combination of letters reminiscent of the times of Nazi Germany. So, it is not recommended to put numbers of this type: SS-45 (SS units), SA - assault troops, KZ - concentration camp, etc. An exception may be made for those whose initials have such an abbreviation. Getting beautiful numbers with an H at the end is also considered original. To obtain the K-AA 100N registration plate, you must have a classic thirty-year-old car with original parts under the hood.

If we draw an analogy with beautiful and golden numbers in cellular communications, then it is unlikely to find any prohibitions on their use by the authorities. Here, the buyers of beautiful rooms themselves make the ban for themselves. For example, not everyone will prefer to buy the number 666-66-66 due to superstitious considerations. Others, on the contrary, will be very willing to buy number 777-77-77, believing that it will bring them good luck.

To believe or not to believe in the magic of numbers when choosing numbers, whether registration numbers cars or mobile operator numbers, it’s up to you to decide.

(HB) and Lübeck ( H.L.), use their prefixes today.

During World War I, a combination was used for army vehicles MK(German) Militärkraftwagen des Deutschen Heeres ) - Military vehicles of the German army. After the war, during the Weimar Republic, german army used a prefix RW(German) Reichswehr) - Reichswehr (German armed forces - gg.).

Vehicles exempt from transport tax (ambulances, tractors, agricultural trailers, trailers for boats and gliders) have green letters and numbers on white license plates. The owner of a trailer may be exempt from paying transport tax on it if he agrees to pay an increased tax for freight car towing this trailer. Also, owners of trailers who voluntarily handed them over to the disposal of the German armed forces (when a state of emergency is established) are exempt from paying transport tax. Unregistered vehicles have short term license plates, valid 5 days. The digital code starts with 04, for example, DD-0400. The license plate itself has a yellow stripe on the right side, on which is marked the date, month and year until which these numbers are valid. Vehicles with such license plates do not have to undergo technical inspection, but must be technically sound. Most insurance companies take this premium into account if the car is later registered and insured by the same insurance company. License plates of exported vehicles. Installed on cars exported abroad to Germany. The owner of the vehicle must not be a German citizen and must not register the vehicle. These license plates do not have a blue stripe with the EU symbol on the left side of the license plate. Instead, a red stripe is applied on the right side of the sign and the date, month and year of expiration of the vehicle insurance contract are indicated.
The registration numbers of vehicles protected by diplomatic immunity have a number on the left side instead of a prefix 0 . The numbers after "0" should be deciphered as follows: before the dash - the number assigned to the country's embassy (from 1 to 3 digits); after the dash - the car number (numbering at the request of the embassy/consulate). An exception is ambassadors and representatives of foreign states: the presidential vehicles have a code 0-1 , prime ministers - 0-2 , foreign ministers - 0-3 , chairmen of parliaments - 1-1 . On registration plates of vehicles belonging to armed forces Germany, on the left side, instead of a blue rectangle with the EU symbol with the standard letter D, the German national flag is depicted. All characters of this type begin with a letter Y(no city in Germany has a name starting with Y), followed by a six-digit number (or five-digit for motorcycles), for example: Y-123 456. German army vehicles are not subject to transport tax and are not insured, since the state acts as the insurer. Also, vehicles do not undergo mandatory technical inspection, but the army services themselves exercise strict control over technical condition vehicles entrusted to them, similar to a regular technical inspection. NATO vehicles located in Germany have license plates similar to the standard German Army vehicle plates, but starting with the letter X followed by a four-digit number, e.g. X-1234. The Federal Police uses registration plates starting with the prefix B.P.(Bundespolizei). Until 2006, the numbers used a code B.G.(Bundesgrenzschutz) - it is still valid today, but on new cars the BP prefix is ​​used. On license plates of land police vehicles North Rhine-Westphalia prefix is ​​used NRW 4, followed by a four-digit code, for example: NRW 4-1234, the Rhineland-Palatinate police use the prefix RPL etc. These red registration plates ( Wechselkennzeichen) are used by dealers for temporary registration of vehicles (for transportation). They are not assigned to a specific car, but are issued to the dealer. This example(without the blue box on the left) is obsolete. These registration plates are used by classic car collectors. The digital combination for such numbers begins with 07 . The car must be at least 20 years old, however, since April 2007 this figure has been increased to 30. License plates issued and installed before this date remain valid even after the new rules come into force. The collector must also receive a special certificate (for example, confirmation that the car does not have any criminal offenses). In addition, it is allowed to use one set of license plates for all collectible cars, subject to strict control over their removal and installation on other cars (all operations performed with plates must be documented by the collector). However, cars with such license plates are not allowed to be used in everyday use. It is not necessary to have a document confirming that you have passed an official technical inspection, but the car must be absolutely technically sound in order for it to be used on public roads.

Font

Since November 2000, registration plates have used a special font developed in Germany by Karlgeorg Höfer (German). Karlgeorg Hoefer) back in the 70s of the 20th century by order of the government. The reason for its creation was the relative ease of counterfeiting license plates that used the old font. Eg, P could easily be corrected by R, B- to digital 8 or 3 , A O- on Q and vice versa.

The uniqueness of the new font (the name is often used FE-Schrift) is that letters similar in configuration and spelling are almost impossible to “interrupt.” Thus, the letter O extremely difficult to convert into letters Q, from P get R, and from L And F - E and vice versa. The situation is the same with numbers.

This font is called “difficult to falsify” (German). Fälschungserschwerende Schrift ).

Issuance of registration plates

In each region of the federal state there is a special department that is responsible for issuing registration plates - German. Zulassungsstelle or German Kfz-Zulassungsbehörde, which literally means “the department for authorization of vehicles for operation.”

Before obtaining license plates, a car owner must obtain vehicle insurance. After insurance, a person is given a special code (German. Versicherungsbestätigungsnummer ), which you need to contact the district department ( Zulassungsstelle), fill out the application and make payment. After this, the department provides a special paper on which the alphanumeric combination of the future license plate is written. Next, the motorist goes to a special shop located next to the department building (and sometimes in the same building), where registration license plates are manufactured. After payment, the owner of the vehicle receives his license plates and must go with them back to the district office, where the last stage of obtaining “numbers” is carried out - a sticker for the region of the federal land is installed and the entire package of documents is issued.

Insurance numbers

Insurance license plates.

Insurance numbers (German) Versicherungskennzeichen) are issued by the insurance company and are installed on mopeds and other low-power vehicles (also on vehicles with a maximum speed of 25 km/h, used by people with disabilities). These license plates are smaller in size than regular registration plates and are only valid for one year from the beginning of March to the end of February of the following year. These signs have replaced official registration marks since low-power vehicles began to be registered through insurance companies. There are 4 colors used for license plates: red (used very rarely and for temporary use of a vehicle), black, green, blue. The last three colors alternate every year, which allows you to track whether the vehicle is insured and whether it has a current license plate. In addition, the year is “stamped” on the bottom line of the sign. Using the same color license plate every three years is not possible, as the police check whether that particular alphanumeric combination is valid. The format is as follows: three numbers at the top, three letters at the bottom of the license plate. Numbers and digits are selected in random order, and personal numbers are not possible.

Each year has its own license plate color.

Stickers

Exhaust gas toxicity test sticker. 2007

Vehicle safety check sticker. 2007

Emissions test sticker was installed (cancelled from January 2010) on the front license plate, and vehicle safety sticker is installed on the rear license plate and since 2010 combines the functions of both stickers. The year is indicated in the center of the sticker. Black marks next to the number 12 allow police to identify from a distance when a particular test was passed. These stickers are installed on the license plate in a special way - the stickers are rotated. If you imagine a clock board, then the stickers are rotated so that the number 12 coincides with the desired number on an imaginary dial. The numbers on the imaginary dial mean the numerical equivalent of months.

Below the vehicle safety stickers and the toxicity test, a federal state sign is installed on the license plate, and the name of the region of this federal state in which the car is registered is also indicated on this sign.

Stickers are made and installed on license plates in a special way, which makes it impossible to remove them without damaging the license plate.

If it becomes known that the car owner does not pay the insurance premium for more than three months, the police will remove the federal state sign with a special device, thereby damaging the license plates. This will make the use of plates illegal and the car owner will have to wait for the insurance company to provide new license plates.

The sticker colors repeat every six years.

An exclusive license plate is a way for drivers to express themselves. However, some combinations of numbers and letters are prohibited in Germany. What combinations are these and why is their use not allowed?

The date of birth of a child or the abbreviation of the place where a meeting with love took place - often car enthusiasts use a license plate to leave a memorable message about the event. In this case, you should be aware that not all combinations of numbers and letters in the license plate are allowed. For example, in Germany you will never be given a license plate with the letters “HJ”.

These license plates are prohibited in Germany

The grounds for prohibiting certain number plates are specified in section 1, paragraph 8, of the Vehicle Registration Regulations (FZV). It states: “The combination of an identification number, or the combination of a geographic code and an identification number, must not violate integrity.”

Regardless of the federal state, in Germany you will never see a vehicle with a license plate starting with "HJ", "KZ", "SA" and "SS". The reason is simple: these letter combinations represent the concept of National Socialism.

"HJ"– Hitlerjugen: The youth organization of the National Socialist Party (NSDAP), which was formed in 1926 under the name "Union of German Workers' Youth" (HJ, Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend). It was used by the Nazis for the ideological and military education of young people.

"KZ"– TOonzentationslager(concentration camp): At the initiative of the National Socialist leadership of the Third Reich (1933-1945), hundreds of thousands of people were killed in concentration camps.

"SA"– Sturmabteilung(storm troopers): During the National Socialist Third Reich (1933-1945), they played a decisive role in the Holocaust.

"SS" – Schutzstaffel(security squads): military organization National Socialist Party (1920-1945).

Combinations are also prohibited "JN-18", "HH-18" And "AH-18". “JN” is a youth organization of the right-wing extremist NPD “Young National Democrats”.

In Bremen

Combinations are prohibited in Bremen « HJ", "KZ", "SA", "SS" And "NS".
