Some people may wondering, why this hearse

http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/liveticker-trauerfeier-fuer-richard-von-weizsaecker-berlin-trauert-abschied-vom-altbundespraesidenten/11356498.html

(funeral of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Weizsaecker )

doesn't wear a license plate.

A guy in my plate-forum explanined, that this is a an explicit regulation for a state funeral in Germany. The hearse has to be without license plates and without any lettering of the undertaker.

Interesting. Didn't know that before.
