Admission is the first step to be able to drive through our cities, because without them there is no traffic safety and no survey of the vehicle tax. In line with the KFZ.NET, the vehicle owners should also consider that a valid license plate activates the tax and insurance obligation.

In the Harz district, most vehicles were counted with 124,018 cars. In contrast, the independent city of Dessau-Roßlau, where 41,487 cars have been registered. These differences in the approval density are exciting, because the car density in Saxony-Anhalt is 561 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. This is a slight increase compared to January 1, 2024 with 558 cars, but it is behind the national average of 583 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. The car density in the Saalekreis is particularly striking, which is the highest in the state with 633 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. In contrast, Halle (Saale) has the lowest density with only 392 cars.
