German registration plates -or vehicle license plates if you are in the UK indicate the first two letters, where the vehicle carrying them was recorded.
Kraftfahrzeug-Kennzeichen or more commonly known Nummernschilder in Germany are very interesting and can produce quite funny combinations in English in all cases.
The first letters are a shortening of the name, or is the main idea.
For example B is obviously Berlin, Munich and M and F is Frankfurt So why not H Hamburg, while in fact HH.
Well the answer, as is other in history The number of letters to the biggest cities recording each received one letter separated For example, the designator for the city of Wuppertal is W is the largest city in Germany whose name starts with the letter W with Hamburg, HH is where the story actually comes Hanseatic city of Hamburg as are the other Hanseatic cities so identified with an H before the letter of the city while Wismar becomes HW Rostock and Lübeck and became HR and so on.
In both the Netherlands and Sweden, the identification of car ownership with was scrapped town or district corresponding identifiable when it became evident that large cities like Stockholm, Goteborg, Rotterdam or Amsterdam essentially hated small city people to come to their cities, and causing all kinds of chaos of traffic, parking problems and create generally ill will between the country and the city.
