In Germany, postal codes are made up of five digits, with the first two digits representing one of the 16 federal states, and the remaining three digits indicating the specific locality. The postal codes are used to help ensure the timely and accurate delivery of mail and parcels to their intended recipients. The current system was introduced in 1993 and has since undergone some revisions. Postal codes in Germany are widely used in daily life, from filling out forms to online shopping and beyond.
