Hi everyone,

it might be a complete stupid question - but I wonder if the ZIP-codes ("Postleitzahlen / PLZ" in Germany) are mapped as areas / polygons in OSM? If yes, could anyone tell me the appropriate tags so that I can identify them in the database and may I ask for a overpass-statement to get them, too?

Thanks, Stefan aka nordie69

I just want to say, that the above answer was perfectly fitting my Needs - in the meantime I was able to create my own mapstyle which is using the boudaries I was searching for. Thanks again!
