German license plates follow a structured format consisting of:

• City/Region Code: 1-3 letters representing the city or district where the vehicle is registered.
• Random Letters & Numbers: A combination of 1-2 letters and 1-4 numbers for unique identification.

For example, B-MX 1234 indicates a vehicle registered in Berlin, with "MX 1234" as its unique identifier.

Why City and Region Codes Matter

The first letters on a German license plate reflect the vehicle's registration district. This system dates back to the 1950s and helps identify where a vehicle is from. Larger cities usually have shorter codes, while smaller towns have longer ones. This ensures that license plates are evenly distributed and easy to read.

German License Plate Codes in Alphabetical Order

Germany's license plate system uses a combination of city and region codes to identify where a vehicle is registered. These codes, which are typically one to three letters, help organize and distinguish the vehicles across the country. The codes represent either major cities, smaller towns, or administrative regions, and the length of the code often correlates with the size or importance of the area. Below is a comprehensive list of German license plate codes in alphabetical order, including both well-known cities and more rural areas, to give you a clear understanding of the country's vehicle registration system.
