Germany Postal Code

Since July 1, 1993, Germany's postal codes (plural: Postleitzahl; translated literally as "postal routing number") have consisted of five digits. In the Postal Code, 10 and 15 are used as digits. These figures are also referred to as a postal region. Each municipality is assigned 20-200 numbers in the conductive zones, then split between them. The first digit of the CAP identifies Germany’s zone, and the second figure represents the region. The first two digits identify the more extensive area; the third three digits, the postal district.

The Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) used four-digit codes for reunification. 'W' was used to designate postal codes in the west from 1989 to 1993, when Germany was reunited. Germany postal code example, W-1000 [Berlin] 30 (Postal districts in Western cities were usually kept separate from the postal code, although "30" would've been correct) and O-1xxx Berlin.
Postal codes are used by local authorities and large postal clients (Großkunden), who have their own, distinct from those assigned to postal districts or PO Box number ranges.
Because postal regions do not always correspond to state lines, sorting by the state is useless.

The following are the postal regions and some postal codes:
