PLZGebiet

PLZGebiet, short for Postleitzahlgebiet, refers to a postal code district in Germany. The postal code system in Germany is a five-digit code used to facilitate mail sorting and delivery. The first digit or digits of the postal code indicate the PLZGebiet, which corresponds to a specific region or district. These areas are further divided into smaller sub-districts, each with its own postal code.

The PLZGebiet system is part of the Deutsche Post's (German Post) addressing system, which is designed to ensure efficient and accurate mail delivery. Each PLZGebiet is managed by a local postal administration, which handles the sorting and distribution of mail within that area.

The use of PLZGebiet codes has been integral to the German postal system since its introduction in the early 20th century. Over time, the system has evolved to accommodate the country's population growth and changes in its administrative structure. Today, PLZGebiet codes play a crucial role in the organization and management of the postal service in Germany.
