"Most likely 120kph. Some places I still see 130kph though." That was most of the time. But there were some stretches where we got close to 100 mph.

Apparently even in the areas that have no speed limit, if you exceed the maximum recommended speed (130kph) you are at a disadvantage in terms of determining who is at fault for any accident that might occur. "1 130 km/h is the recommended maximum speed on motorways, as indicated by a blue sign. Many sections of the German motorway network are now covered by speed limits, usually ranging from 80 to 130 km/h (140 km/h as speed limit is being tested in Lower Saxony -some politicians are against it, because 140 km/h is over the recommended maximum speed, depending on local conditions (i.e., frequent traffic, terrain, etc.). It is usual for drivers involved in crashes who were exceeding the 'recommended' speed limit to be held to be at least partly at fault, regardless of the circumstances of the crash, and insurance companies have the right to withhold payment." en.wikipedia.org
