I like all the little details the artist put into the "Germany" frame. Some of the buildings are from our capital, Berlin. Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral)+ Fernsehturm (TV Tower) Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche (Memorial Church) Gendarmenmarkt
Schloss Sanssouci (Palace Sanssouci in the City of Potsdam) Kölner Dom (Cathedral of Cologne) Schloss Neuschwanstein
Can't recognize the other buildings or the fountain. Obviously there's your typical German Autobahn, the Haribo Goldbär (Jelly sweets, lookings like bears), Currywurst, Lebkuchen, Baumkuchen, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, the ICE train, pretzels, Stollen (a cake for the Christmas time), Meißener Porzellan (Porcellain made in Meißen), the Steif Teddybär (Teddybear), wine, champagne, Bavarian "Hofbräuhaus" beer. Dirndl and Lederhosen (kinda special kinds of dresses, usually worn to special occasions in Bavaria, even though some people there wear them all the time) and last but not least a Lufthansa aeroplane. And some cheese and other sausages.
Z1 has the Audi logo and a peace sign on her. Bismarck has VW on her hat (can't read the other text though), and Adidas and Puma on her neck thingie. Dunno what's that on her chest plate. Same goes for Prinz. Don't know what's that supposed to be.

The graphic on Bismarck's chest is the insignia of "Bayerische Motoren Werke" (BMW), and my guess for the graphic on Prinz's hat is the insignia of Porsche.

…and all these time I thought the B is for Bavaria

The camera below the ICE could be a reference to Carl Zeiss think that's Wetzlar, not Jena.
Besides, the last Zeiss Ikon, and the camera lenses are built in Nagano prefecture.
If any of our German users are looking for a pointless challenge, it should be possible to identify the location of the autobahn picture: it seems to be drawn based off this picture, whose caption isn't any more specific than "outskirts of Frankfurt" (presumably Frankfurt am Main.)
