Description:
Abstract:
There are no official zip code areas in Germany. Zip codes (Postleitzahl, PLZ) are related only to streets but are organized into the five-digit zip code areas that cover Germany. Germany Five-Digit Zip Code Areas (PLZgrenzen) represent these areas.
Purpose:
Germany Five-Digit Zip Code Areas (PLZgrenzen) provides the five-digit zip code areas of Germany.
Supplemental_Information: Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:100,000.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
There are no official zip code areas in Germany. Zip codes (Postleitzahl, PLZ) are only related to streets. To build the areas, ESRI Geoinformatik GmbH digitized from topographic maps using community boundaries where possible, digitized from street lines inside cities and communities containing several zip codes, and used free interpretation.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Downloaded data set from the ESRI FTP site. Removed an attribute. Renamed attributes. Reduced an attribute's width. Added Region attribute. Reordered the attributes. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr). Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices. Converted the data set to SDC.
