License plate liberalization initiative
Ralf Bochert gained nationwide fame as head of the license plate liberalization project at Heilbronn University to reintroduce license plates that had not been allocated in the course of regional and administrative reforms since the late 1960s. Between 2010 and 2012, students at the university surveyed more than 50,000 people in more than 200 German cities on the subject. A clear majority of 72% of those surveyed in the affected cities were in favor of reintroducing old license plates. Since November 9, 2012, in line with the recommendation from the project, many of the old license plates have been reassigned as an option for vehicle owners.
