They are used together with addr:city. The combination aoff
addr:postcode_major_recipient and addr:city acts as an alias for
addr:postcode & addr:city & addr:street &
addr:housenumber.<br>

I believe 1800 numbers cannot be used internationally, so I
don't use the ISD codes, that OSM requests, with these.<br>

Typically for those companies in DE, there is an
additional physical address which has a different postcode
for the street address, which is regularly tagged on the
physical location.<br>

all,<br>
<br>
recently I came across postal codes in POI addresses,
which aren't the classic scheme addr:postcode &
addr:city & addr:street & addr:housenumber.
However it is a special postcode that is assigned to
recipients that receive a big amount of post every day,
typically big companies or authorities. This kind of
postcode is used only together with addr:city and does
not require street and housenumber. So to say the post
company has a big sack for post to that special
postcode, puts in all the letters that are addressed to
it and delivers the sack to the recipient.<br>
After some discussion in the german user forum <a
href="https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60421"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://forum.openstreetmap.or<wbr>g/viewtopic.php?id=60421</a>
I want to propose a tag for this kind of postcode and
would like to discuss it here in the tagging mailing
list.<br>
<br>
The proposal is: addr:postcode_major_recipient<br>
<br>
It should be used on POIs, because it is an attribute of
the company, authority or whatever, but not as an
address of a building, because it is not assigned to
such directly. Target is to have a separate tag for this
kind of postcode to avoid a mix-up with the normal
addr:postcode.<br>
<br>
As I am not a native British English speaker, I have
asked one and consulted the english page of the Deutsche
Post. Reference: <a
href="https://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=en_GB"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.postdirekt.de/plzs<wbr>erver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=<wbr>en_GB</a>
-> goto More -> Find major recipient<br>
<br>
Probably similar kinds of postcodes exist also in other
post companies in other countries, so inputs about that
are welcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Rainer<br>
