German mail address
A German mail address typically consists of the following parts:
- Street name (Straße): This is the name of the street where the recipient lives.
- House number (Hausnummer): This is the number of the house or building where the recipient lives.
- Postal code (Postleitzahl): This is a five-digit code that identifies the postal area.
- City (Stadt): This is the name of the city or town where the recipient lives.
Here's an example of a German mail address:
Straße: Müllerstraße Hausnummer: 12 Postleitzahl: 10115 Stadt: Berlin
The full address would be:
Müllerstraße 12, 10115 Berlin
Note:
- In Germany, the postal code is always written in the format "XXXXX", with five digits.
- The city name is usually written in its official form, which may be different from the common name used in everyday language.
- If the recipient has a specific apartment or room number, it can be included after the house number, separated by a comma (e.g., Müllerstraße 12, 3. OG).
