Is there anything that actually defines what an address looks like in Germany or is it just entirely vibes based?
Since 2000, the UPU international addressing standards working group of the Postal Operation Council (POC) has been working on postal addressing standards and addressing terminology. [...] In November 2002, the UPU S42 standard “International Postal Address Components and Templates” was approved. [...][...] UPU S42 defines a postal address as follows:A set of information which, for a postal item, allows the unambiguous determination of an actual or potential delivery point, usually combined with the specification of an addressee and/or a maileebeautifully vague
One of the most favoured types of address is known as a “descriptive address”. Some descriptive addresses do not even fully meet the definition of an address, but they are widely used on mail. Descriptive addresses normally contain local knowledge or use practical geographical information to describe how to reach a given point. When official names are unknown, people use informal descriptives to denote given delivery points.Example:I should try that some day
