Doing check on licence plate suggests vehicle registered in "Giessen".

Giessen is a city in the German federal state (Bundesland) of Hessen, capital of both the Giessen district and the Giessen region. Located in SE central part of Germany.
Orange safety sticker is issued for years...1995...2001..and ...2007 . Colour is repeated every 6th year.

Without the 'blue strip' at the left of the plate, makes it issued before 1994 ? If so the 6th year before 1995 to take
it back when plate without blue was used, is 1989.
So this car is a 1989 model.??

Any other ideas about plate ?

FYI.......
Colour............ Years
Orange.... 1995 2001 2007
Blue ...... 1996 2002 2008
Yellow... 1997 2003 2009
Brown... 1998 2004 2010
Pink .... 1999 2005 2011
Green... 2000 2006 2012
