> many (most?) larger German cities I guess those qualifiers cancel each other out? Anyway. Berlin is twice as big as the second biggest city, Hamburg. Munich is the third largest city: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/cities/germany https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/cities/germany We've gone over Berlin and Munich, here's Hamburg: https://www.hamburg.de/contentblob/153026/31a1e4447ce01eb4b8fd6a29a8ff6ad4/data/bpd-hausnummern.pdf https://www.hamburg.de/contentblob/153026/31a1e4447ce01eb4b8... - must be placed at least 180 cm above ground, near the entrance or on the side facing a public road - if the building is too far away from a public road for the number to be recognizable, it must be placed at the entrance of the premises, no lower than 90 cm above ground - it must be made out of a material that can withstand weathering and provides good visibility of its shape and color - for certain buildings (office buildings?) the numbers must be illuminated to be visible in low light conditions Here's #4 on the list, Cologne: https://www.stadt-koeln.de/service/produkte/00930/index.html https://www.stadt-koeln.de/service/produkte/00930/index.html - it must use "arabic numerals" (i.e. not Roman numerals) which must be at least 8.5cm high - it must be visible and legible from a public road Frankfurt am Main (#5) does not seem to specify any requirements and thus defers to Hesse, which doesn't seem to specify any requirements either. https://frankfurt.de/themen/planen-bauen-und-wohnen/planen/strassenbenennung/hausnummerierung https://frankfurt.de/themen/planen-bauen-und-wohnen/planen/s... I'm not going to go over the rest of the list as the lesson seems clear: some cities/municipalities have strict regulations, some barely have any, size doesn't really seem to be a deciding factor.
