OK, just sold my car and am left holding the license plates.

What do I do now, is it simply return them the local Strassverkassen (spelling) office where I got them?

did you get the car papers stamped as "cancelled" by the issuing office? Have you passed this paper onto the new owner?

If so - simply take your plates back. They'll probably have an unmanned drop for plates too.

Buy another car to store them on ?

Yeah several german companies make great plate holders! They are not cheap but the plates sure look good on them!! ;-)

No, you don't want something that will _overshadow_ the plates.

Best to go for something with a somewhat more subtle beauty, like a Fiat Uno, or maybe a Lada Niva.
