License Plate
With the establishment of the districts from mid-1953, the occupation zone numbers were replaced by new vehicle number plates. The old license plates had to be replaced by January 31, 1954. Each district received a letter. In the district hall and thus the circle Quedlinburg it was the K . The second letter and the four digits were consecutive. As early as the end of the 1950s, it had become necessary in some districts to introduce a second letter. This was the V in the Halle district . Since the variations were again insufficient in the course of the early 1970s, with effect from October 1, 1974, in addition to the previous number plates, those with three letters and three digits were also introduced. In the Quedlinburg district, these began with KT and VT . The first letter continued to stand for the Halle district, while the T indicated that the vehicle was registered in the Quedlinburg district. From January 1, 1991, only license plates were issued according to the system of the Federal Republic. In the district of Quedlinburg, these showed the letters QLB at the front . The GDR license plates lost their validity with effect from January 1, 1994.
An exception were motorcycles, for which license plates were given with two letters and four digits. The last number plate series used for motorcycles was VU 00-01 to VU 99-99 .
