I noticed that the English editions of the Watchtower and Awake! in Germany now have an ISSN in the impressum.
The Watchtower = ISSN 0043-1087
Awake! = ISSN 0005-237X
Does anybody know what this is about?

It's an international publications reference number. They have had their magazines registered with that organisation and been given a reference number.
