  1. No more D in front of the number, the D went out when Germany  was reunited.


  2. (His Name)

    Landsberger Allee 101

    13055 Berlin

    Germany

    Germans don't use apartment numbers in addresses - they expect the mailmen to look for the names on the mailboxes. And yes, it's supposed to be Allee (it means boulevard more than alley... German is like a whole different language)

  3. Hr. (His name) or Fr. (Her Name) or Fam.(Name of the family if adressed to all of them)

    Landsberger Allee 101

    D-13055 Berlin

    Germany (if possible bold)

    Allee is the german word for ally, that is right and correctly spelled.

    In general the german post has to try to find the correct receipient by law, and they have a special 'task force' to do so. We tried it when I was much younger by sending postcards to myself with some really wrong information on it. Takes longer, but nearly all of them arrived (Even if the town was missing or spelled totally wrong). So no worries, you'll be fine.

  4. His name

    Landsberger Allee 101

    13055 berlin

    GERMANY

    No it means allee....

  5. The D in front of the zip code is not necessary if you write Germany (which you should do anyway, when you send the letter from outside EU) at the end of the address.

    If you send a letter from inside EU, you don't write the country name at the end, but put the short form of the country in front of the zip-code. e.g:

    D-xxxx for Germany

    ES-xxxx for Spain

    A-xxxx for Austria etc.

  6. HIS NAME

    landsberger allee #101

    13055 berlin

    deutschland

  7. His name

    Landsberger Allee 101

    13055 Berlin
