Germany's Postal Code Format

Germany uses a “PLZ” system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. This means it uses only numbers, similar to US ZIP codes, which are also five digits and purely numeric. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Germany has 26,266 postal codes covering 4,723 regions and 13,097 towns.

Postal Code (PLZ) Format: 99999
- Five-digit numeric format (no letters)
- Uniform structure used nationwide
- 26,266 PLZ covering 4,723 regions and 13,097 towns
- Unlike US ZIP+4, PLZ remain simple five-digit codes
Regional Examples:
- 10115 - Berlin (Mitte)
- 20095 - Hamburg (Altstadt)
- 50667 - North Rhine-Westphalia (Cologne)
- 80331 - Bavaria (Munich)
Structure of Postcodes
- Format: 5-digit numeric (e.g., 10115).
- Hierarchical levels: First 1–2 digits = routing zones (Leitbereiche); full PLZ map to postal areas, not strictly administrative units.
- Key challenges: PLZ often cross municipal boundaries; Ortsteile (subdivisions) complicate mapping; large cities and PO Boxes require multiple codes.

Management & Authority
- Primary postal authority: Deutsche Post (DHL Group).
- Update frequency: Quarterly official releases, distributed as PDF lists.
- Notes: Data requires processing to align with government administrative CSVs; occasional delays in reflecting municipal mergers.
Addressing Standards
- Common address format: Street name + house number, PLZ, town, Bundesland.
- Administrative divisions used: Federal states, districts, municipalities; Ortsteile (subdivisions) are common but not always standardized.
- Special cases: Some border towns (e.g., Austrian localities) historically share German PLZ, requiring care in validation.
Special Characteristics
- Leading digits define postal routing zones (Leitbereiche) rather than federal states.
- Dedicated PLZ ranges exist for PO Boxes (Postfächer) and large-volume recipients.
- One PLZ may span multiple municipalities, and municipalities may have multiple PLZ, especially in urban areas.

Comprehensive field definitions and data specifications for the Germany postal code dataset

Field name	Field type	Description	Comments
ISO	Char(2)	ISO 3166-1 Country code	The ISO 3166-1 standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and defines a unique code for the name of each country. The country codes are represented as a two-letter code (alpha-2).
Country	Char(50)	Country name
Language	Char(2)	Language code	When there are several official languages in the country, or for countries using a non-Latin alphabet, we provide the names in different languages. The language field contains the language code and allows you to select a specific version.
Region1 Region2 Region3 Region4	Char(80)	Administrative division level 1 Administrative division level 2 Administrative division level 3 Administrative division level 4	These fields contain the name of administrative divisions for each available level. If not applicable, the value '-' will be indicated.
Locality	Char(80)	Locality name	Contains the settlement name. The type of settlement may vary depending on the country (city, town, village, etc..).

Latitude Longitude	Double	Place coordinates (WGS84 coordinates)	These fields contain the geographic coordinates related to the specific locality and postal code of the record. The geographical position is usually precise to about one hundred meters and corresponds to the center of the locality. All our files are created using the World Geodetic System standard WGS 84. The corresponding SRID reference is EPSG:4326.
Timezone	Char(30)	Time zone name (Olson)	Following the timezones defined in the IANA tz database (sometimes called Olson database).
