From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The part of ISO 3166-2 that applies to Germany provides codes for the names of the 16 federal states of Germany (Bundesländer).
Note: These ISO geocodes might be trademarked.
The first part is the ISO 3166-1 code DE for Germany; the second part is two-digit-alphabetic.

[edit] Notes
The codes for Bremen and Hamburg incorporate an "H" for Hansestadt as their first letter. The codes for Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt avoid the more intuitive but historically tainted NS (for Nationalsozialismus) and SA (for Sturmabteilung).
Deviant codes or abbreviations have been used traditionally especially for the (western) compound-named states and they remain in common use today. They often have three letters instead of two.
B | Berlin |
BB | Brandenburg (and failed proposal Berlin-Brandenburg) |
MVP | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania |
NDS | Lower Saxony |
NRW | North Rhine-Westphalia |
RLP | Rhineland-Palatinate |
