Explore Our Germany ZIP code coverage

The map shows our Germany postal code coverage with major cities and postal code distribution.

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.
