Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If a car's number plate starts with the letter 'B', where does the driver live?

Answer: Berlin

The biggest cities of Germany almost always use only one letter. This allows more room on the number plate for other letters. A typical Berlin number plate might read B:QW459. This allows a long period of time before all of the possibilities are used.
2. Where is a car registered if the number plate begins with 'M'?

Answer: Munich

On the other hand, smaller towns have up to three letters. They don't need quite as much room as the prospects of running out room in the near future are remote. Makes sense, eh?
3. And what about the letter 'D'?

Answer: Düsseldorf

Dresden may be marginally bigger (depends how you measure it) but like most former East German cities, it had to take an extra letter because 'D' was already taken. Hence, the code for Dresden is 'DD'.
4. This one might be a little tricky. 'K'?

Answer: Cologne

Köln in German.
5. What about 'S'?

Answer: Stuttgart

And some of the best cars in the world are designed there...
6. Ok now, a bit more difficult (and confusing!). What about the letters 'HB'?

Answer: Bremen

Hansestadt Bremen
7. What about just 'H'?

Answer: Hannover

Hamburg is much bigger, but like Bremen adds another 'H'.
8. 'HAM'?

Answer: Hamm

An industrial city of 190,000 on the eastern fringe of the Rhine-Ruhr. Also home to one of the best Irish pubs in Germany!
9. What about 'HH'?

Answer: Hamburg

Hansestadt Hamburg (finally!)
10. Finally who or what displays '0' (zero)?

Answer: The Diplomatic Corps

While most single letter designations represent a city, a few are allocated to official departments.
