Comment:

 It seems that Germany is more and more moving away from geographically
 fixed license plates, so consensus was not to have a specific license
 plate tag. Instead, just put the conventionally used abbreviations in the
 ref tag of the boundary relation of the county or city. Nominatim will
 pick them up from there.

 Supporting openGeoDB:license_plate_code is not a good idea because it
 comes from a very old one-time import and is largely unmaintained.
