I was in Kiel for my uncle's funeral, and on the way home I saw a lot of tourists and interesting things:
Two or three trucks with Turkish plates!
Two vehicles with Belarusian plates: a Laguna Grandtour and a truck I can't remember, had "Brest" and the city arms on the side of the roof.
A truck from Estonia, only the second Estonian-registered vehicle I've met in person.
US-spec Passat 3BG wagon with Polish plates
A truck full of US-spec cars, including an Audi A4 B8 or B9, 2005+ Ford Mustang and a 2002-04 Honda Odyssey.
And the most interesting bit...you're not going to believe this, but...

A white 1998+ Chevrolet Prizm in the opposite lane...it was so special I even remember the plate: KI-Q-8.
Do you wanna kidding us or don't you never leave your home village? Especially in your area all Autobahnen are filled up with hundreds of thousands of Eastern European trucks and vans, plus the many cars and buses of the foreign workers and tourists! When you take the A2 -very close to your home- to Berlin, you always see hundreds of vehicles with plates from these countries!
Sometimes even rarities from the real Far East as Kasakhstan. Rather rare are vehicles from Moldovia - and only once ever I've seen a Mercedes W124 from Tiraspol in

Turkish trucks aren't rare on German Autobahnen neither. The most you see in the South of Germany, but many are going upwards to Hamburg and Scandinavia, too, via the A7 - which is also near to your home.
What do you think, how the food for the 3 million people with Turkish roots comes to Germany?
In and around Hamburg there appear also seveal trucks from the Iran and Aserbaidchan, as Hamburg is still the main trading venue for oriental carpets.
As the A7 and also the A1 are the main routes to Scandinavia, there you can spot sometimes rarities from the North. At specific times, some hours after the arrival of the Norröna in Esbjerg (oh, this year it's Hirthals)

there's also a chance to see cars from Iceland or the Faroe Islands.
