Postal codes in Germany, Postleitzahl (plural Postleitzahlen, abbreviated to PLZ; literally "postal routing number"), since 1 July 1993 have consisted of five digits. The first two digits indicate the wider area, the last three digits the postal district.
Before reunification both the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) used four-digit codes. Under a transitional arrangement following reunification, between 1989 and 1993 postal codes in the west were prefixed with 'W', e.g.: W-1000 [Berlin] 30 (postal districts in western cities were customary separate from the postal code, although "1030" would've been correct) and those in the east with 'O' (for Ost), e.g.: O-1xxx Berlin.
City councils and postal customers with high mail volumes (Großkunden) have their own postal codes, separate from those used for postal districts or PO Box number ranges.
Postal regions do not necessarily follow state boundaries, so sorting by state is not practicable.
The postal regions and some postal codes are:
The 5-digit postal codes were established on 1 July 1993.
The region 25 covers all of Schleswig-Holstein's westcoast from Hamburg to the Danish border. All mail from, to and within this region is handled by the postal distribution center in Elmshorn.
These postal codes were used until 1993 (The ending zeroes were often omitted, e.g., 2 Hamburg XX or 28 Bremen XX):
