Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is for Murnau?

Answer: GAP

Murnau is so small that they use the GAP of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
2. Hamburg?

Answer: HH

Hamburg is HH because it was a member of the Hanseatic league. Each of the 7 states have an 'H' before their letter.
3. Leverkusen?

Answer: LEV

Leverkusen is the town home to the Bayer company. The Bayer factory and buildings are HUGE, it's a city in itself!
4. Bonn?

Answer: BN

B is for Berlin because it is bigger than Bonn. Therefore, Bonn's license plate needs two letters.
5. Cologne?

Answer: K

Cologne is Koeln in German and it's a big city, hence just K.
6. Berlin?

Answer: B

It's the capital of its area, so it has the single letter.
7. Munich?

Answer: M

Big city - one letter! Munich (Muenchen) is the capital of Bavaria (Bayern).
8. Bremen?

Answer: HB

Another Hanseatic state.
9. Garmisch-Partenkirchen?

Answer: GAP

And because some towns like Murnau are so small, they also have GAP as their license plate.
10. Penzberg?

Answer: WM

Penzberg is too small for its own, so it uses the WM from Weilheim.
