DE Post Code generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The DE Post Code generator creates data representing German postal codes. It generates valid five-digit codes based on the postal system in Germany. This generator is used for populating fields that require realistic German postal codes in datasets for testing, development, or simulation purposes.

Note

If you select Germany from the Country-specific data list on the Options page of the Data Generator Project Properties wizard, the DE Post Code generator will be applied to columns that meet the matching rules, replacing the default (United States) generator.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
DE Post	70173, 26001, 14195, …	charactercharacter varyingtext	DE

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name contains ‘ZipCode’ or ‘PostalCode’ or ‘Zip’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.
The column name contains ‘Addr’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and ends with ‘4’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
