Description
Hi,
it looks like full hours do not work, at least in German. For example, "18 Uhr" should be 2023-03-28 18:00 but it is 2023-03-18
>>> dateparser.parse("18 Uhr", languages=['de'], settings={'PREFER_DATES_FROM': 'future'})
datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 18, 0, 0)
Best!

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the shown dateparser.parse("18 Uhr", languages=['de'], settings={'PREFER_DATES_FROM': 'future'}) call and compare it with the expected 18:00 result. Trace the German parsing path from this entry point; done means full-hour German expressions return the correct date and time.
