My favorite for years: Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung

First time I saw that work my mind gear-jammed.

Longest word in German:

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz -

63 words long - a law describing the regulation of beef labeling! Considered satirical even by native German speakers.

Since repealed.

“Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung”

Never saw that word when I was in Germany because then there were NO speed limits!

Now, “Polizei” and “Strafsbefel” were words I knew well.
