Does germany use zip codes?

Question

Does germany use zip codes?

Answer 1

PLZ..... I'm 12159 Berlin-Schöneberg.....

Answer 2

Wulf, I can guess why you got thumbs down, because we don't write the house number in front of the street name.

Answer 3

YES. They are called PLZ or Postleitzahlen in German, have five-digits and the first digit tells you the general area (north, south, west, etc).

Answer 4

Yes, we have five-digit codes that are placed in front of the town name, and they're digits only, no letters. Street address numbers are placed BEHIND the street name. A typical German address would be:

Max Mustermann

Musterstraße 123

12345 Musterstadt

Germany

Answer 5

yes, most certainly do.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Yes.

Example of one..  99423 which is Weimar.

Only they write it on a letter differently than we do here in the USA.

They would write:

John Doe

14 Asbach Strasse #4

99423, Weimar DE

In the US it is

John Doe

14 Asbach Street #4

Weimar, Germany 99423

Make sense?

(Who's the nerd that thumbed us down, we are all correct!! a*******h!) =] Can' say it in English hee hee.

Answer 8

Yes, I do believe so.

Answer 9

Germany invented the ZIP code.
