This system was replaced in 1962 in West Germany by a four-digit system; three years later East Germany followed with its own four-digit system.The postal codes in the Germany is segregated in such a way that 5 digits of those zip code system is split as 1st digit indicates the area in Germany. 2nd digit indicates the region, and the final 3 digits which are 3rd 4th and 5th digits indicates the town which is located in Germany. Whereas the Federal Republic introduced a system with space left for the East German postal system after a possible reunification, such as by omitting all codes starting with '1' (except 1000 for West Berlin) and '9', the German Democratic Republic had a system that used all codes starting from '1' to '9' just for East Germany.
