Zieladresse

Zieladresse is a term used in German to denote the destination address involved in a process. It designates where something should be sent or delivered and contrasts with the Absenderadresse (sender address). It is used across logistics, mail handling, and IT operations.

In postal and shipping contexts, the Zieladresse comprises the recipient's details: name, street or P.O. box, postal code, city, and, for international shipments, country. Additional identifiers such as customer or order numbers may be included to support sorting and delivery. Accurate Zieladresse is critical for routing and compliance with carrier requirements.

In information technology and data processing, Zieladresse refers to the destination endpoint of a data transfer or message, such as a network address (IP or URL) or service endpoint. It is used in configurations, routing, and integrations to direct data to the correct recipient or service.

In logistics and business processes, the concept of Zieladresse helps organize workflows, labeling, and documentation, including invoices and customs declarations for cross-border shipments. Standards for address formatting vary by country and carrier; when possible, data should be validated against local address conventions.
