PLZDateien

PLZDateien are files used in some software applications to store postal code (PLZ) information. PLZ is the German abbreviation for Postleitzahl, meaning postal code. These files are typically plain text files and can contain a list of postal codes along with associated geographical data such as city names, regions, or administrative districts. The exact format of a PLZDatei can vary depending on the software that uses it. Some may use simple comma-separated values (CSV) or tab-separated values (TSV), while others might have a custom structure. These files are often employed in applications dealing with logistics, shipping, address validation, or geographical data analysis where accurate postal code lookup is essential. Users might encounter PLZDateien when importing or exporting address data, or when configuring software that requires a local postal code database. The purpose of these files is to provide a structured way to manage and access postal code information for a specific region or country.
