German car number plates work like this:
- the first letters (1-3) denote the area (B = Berlin, M = Munich, RÜD = Rüdesheim, i.e. the less letters the bigger the town)
- the next one or two letters are random
- as are the numbers at the back (four maximum)
You used to take what you got but these days you can choose the middle letters and numbers. Lots of people drive around with their initials and their birthdates or -years.
But it’s much more fun if the plates make words. Sometimes German words but English is popular because the words are often shorter. Or people might not realise that they drive around with an expletive in a foreign language (particularly people in Fulda or Dieburg).
I like to collect photos of license plate words (sometimes with wonky spelling).
And with a bit of luck, they even make a story.









I’m ready to duck.
