Achim Will own car license plate: Mayor relies on identity!

Mayor Rainer Ditzfeld von Achim has brought an exciting idea into conversation: his own license plate for the city. The proposal is based on the conviction that such a license plate not only strengthens the local feeling of togetherness, but could also set positive economic impulses. Ditzfeld, who personally feels particularly connected to the desired license plate "Oh - in 1", sees great advantages for the identity of the city.

The background of these considerations is a proposal by Ralf Bochert, a professor at Heilbronn University. Bochert has spoken out for over 320 cities in Germany for the introduction of specific motor vehicle license plates in order to promote their local identity both internally and externally. "We should accept this wish of the population for more local location," said Bochert and underlined the opportunity to achieve this through unbureaucratic measures.

undertake also receives Ditzfeld from the Achimer local researcher Jörg Karaschski, who emphasizes that his own license plate is an inexpensive way of showing home connection. The mayor already announced that he had presented the idea in a recent administrative committee and then received consistently positive reactions. The introduction of such a license plate would also be cost -neutral for the city and the district, since the citizens were willing to pay a fee of ten euros for their desired license plates.

The importance of an individual license plate becomes particularly clear when you look at the current trend: Since 2012, many municipalities that have lost their license plates have been able to use their old license plates again, which indicates a strong need for local identity. Achim, who was even the seat of the district administrator between 1885 and 1932, has not yet received its own car license plate, which many Achimer disappointed.

An interesting fact on the history of the vehicle license plates in Achim is that the first officially approved vehicle in the city was a motorcycle. It belonged to the merchant Georg Hillemann, who received a license plate with the inscription "IS 595" in 1909, with "I" stood for Prussia and "S" for the province of Hanover. Here it quickly becomes clear that the city's license history has long died back and has taken numerous twists in the turmoil.

Ditzfeld sees a great opportunity to create a license plate for Achim, both for the city and for its citizens. The idea that you could already write down the city name on the license plate ensures additional enthusiasm. The mayor also has no concerns about possible negative associations on the letters "Oh" and thinks that such thoughts should not affect the variety of ideas he intended.

In the discussion about the identity of the cities and municipalities, the concern for one's own license plates in Achim has not only a local, but a far -reaching social context. Ditzfeld and his supporters are working to promote the idea - with the aim of giving Achim a new, contemporary face on the streets of Germany, which also appeals to the heart of the citizens.
