HH: Hamburg and its license plate - appreciation of the Hanseatic League
On July 1, 1956, Hamburg got its HH license plate back. An abbreviation that is forbidden elsewhere has since then served to create identity for the Hanseatic townspeople.
Am 1. Juli 1956 erhielt Hamburg sein HH-Nummernschild zurück. Ein Kürzel, das anderswo verboten ist, wirkt seither identitätsstiftend für die Hansestädter.
